Customizable Headband

prusaprinters

<p>As I write this headband-v51.stl is 160mm across at the widest point. This is an OpenSCAD file to let you customize that.</p><p>I've uploaded a 180mm version, but you can open the RevisedHeadband.scad with OpenSCAD, open its Customizer pane and enter a different value for <strong>widen</strong>. Negative values also work to shrink the widest point distance.</p><h4>How to Use:</h4><ul><li>Get a recent version of <a href="https://openscad.org/downloads.html">OpenSCAD</a>.</li><li>Put <code>headband-v51.stl</code> and <code>RevisedHeadband.scad</code> in the same directory</li><li>You may have to zoom out (scroll wheel on mouse) to see the whole headband.</li><li>Set <strong>widen</strong> to taste.</li><li><strong>Render</strong> (on the OpenSCAD Design menu) This fixes Preview drawing artifacts</li><li><strong>Export as STL</strong> (on the OpenSCAD File menu)</li><li>Slice and print normally</li></ul><h4>How RevisedHeadband.scad works:</h4><ul><li><code>RevisedHeadband.scad</code> reads in the original stl file, makes copies, and slices and clones the copies to make a revised headband.</li><li>Like all OpenSCAD files, RevisedHeadband.scad is just a short text file that you can open and edit in any text editor.</li></ul><h4>How I designed this:</h4><ul><li>I stood in front of a mirror with a ruler on my head, looking absolutely ridiculous, and eye-balled it.</li></ul><h4>Slicing and Printing</h4><ul><li>0.4mm nozzle, 0.3mm layer height, 5% gyroid infill, brim, PLA.</li></ul>
