AnyStrap v.1

myminifactory

Hello! This is version 1.0 (and iterations) of AnyStrap, a versatile and adaptable strap designed for numerous practical uses you can think of. [version 2 found here: AnyStrap v.2] I created and printed these in 2015 and still use them daily. The concept began when I needed a small customizable strap for a wearable gauntlet I'd designed with my early Sketchup skills, but required a strap to hold it on my arm. So I decided to utilize some NinjaFlex that I was eager to print one with. These initial designs turned out surprisingly strong and easy to use overall. I have since developed MANY different versions of these straps that I'm even more excited about and will be uploading as new objects with the corresponding version. I realized over time that the sharp corners of the buttons and slots/holes can get stuck and be difficult to fasten, so newer designs are rounded. I also made new straps thinner to be more flexible and comfortable for wearable use (like holding a hot/cold pack on a leg or arm). I have at least 4 new versions of the button and hole design as well as new shapes, sizes, and lengths for varying uses. I'm also planning to start a website and YouTube series to help teach how to print these successfully and in general with flexible filaments. More to come soon! Helpful Notes: These are useful as a large sturdy re-usable 'Cable Tie' (i.e. Hold together long cords, cables, tubing, wiring, rods, bundles, or "any"thing you need) You can fold over extra strap material and connect it to the buttons to keep it out of the way (see photos). The v1.2 and 1.4 designs have a wider slot near the buttons for looping through extra strap length to keep things neat.
