1 Handed Flex Belt V2

thingiverse

Basically the ultimate goal is for a fully functional standard 3D printed belt. The belt should be flexible, while everything else can be made from PLA, PETG, or ABS. You can add your logo, name, etc. to the buckle, but ensure that the area connecting to the belt and the plate are stable. The primary objective of the buckle design is to make it easy to print, simple to attach and detach, and straightforward to understand. I could have overengineered it, but a question arose regarding whether the EMS can easily remove the belt if needed or if they would have to spend some time figuring it out or attempting to cut it off. The point of this endeavor is to create a worthwhile belt that can be easily repaired if necessary. My goal is to make every component 3D printable. I'm making this because my belts keep breaking, and it would be beneficial to have something affordable, even if not long-lasting, to replace all of them with. The following information provides sizes: use the Maya file to understand how to create the right size for you from http://www.sizecharter.com/clothing-fit-and-measurement/belt-size-charts. From the end to the center of the first hole is 4 inches, and all holes are 20 mm apart (center-to-center). Buckle 2 is an improvement over the previous version. For the rod, I recommend printing it at 100%. As for the buckle, you can decide, but I found 3D honeycomb to be a good option. It's suggested that you test the buckle in the holes to see if the ball falls off. If it does snap off, increase the infill or manually enlarge the holes a bit.
