20 mm watch strap and buckle

thingiverse

This remix combines elements from laird's watch strap and Lindsay Fowler's buckle, with a custom-made latch added in. A 1.75mm filament piece was used for the pin on the buckle. The watch strap is designed to be 20mm wide and only 1mm thin due to the use of Fillamentum flexfill 98A TPU filament, which can be quite rigid at 2mm thickness. To minimize stringing while printing, it's recommended to split the file into separate parts for each section of the strap. To achieve optimal results when printing the strap, orient it sideways on the print bed and use a layer height of 0.20mm with a 2mm brim. Make sure the loops for the pins are printed continuously; some settings may cause them to be printed in small sections. A support structure has been added to the buckle side of the strap over the hole where the latch will go, which needs to be cut out after printing.
