Glasses leash/retainer

prusaprinters

<p>Glasses leash with printed flex ends and a flex filament cord. The pictured set are in Ninjaflex but I have also printed them in other TPUs. Thread a suitable length of filament through them then use a soldering iron or flame to form a dimple on the end so that they are retained in the ends.</p> <p>The design is for an arm with an end section 12mm x 3mm but it can be scaled in the slicer to fit other arm sizes.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>i3 MK2.5</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.15mm but not critical</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> Ninjaflex TPU or other Flex/semi flex <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>I print using standard PLA settings but increase the extruder temperature to 220C and then run the printer at half speed (or set it to 20mm/sec). Reducing the idler tension to the bare minimum seems to eliminate jams.</p> Printing two at once gives some stringing between them which can be pulled or burnt off. Otherwise print one at a time and there will be nothing to string to.</div></p> </p></p></p> Category: Glasses
