Jack-O-Band Halloween TPU Wristband

Inspired by ARTOVERKILL's JACK-O-RING, I present the JACK-O-BAND Halloween TPU bracelet. I consider this a remix of ArtOverKill's design in to a band/bracelet but I do not see a way to tag it as one on Cults.com. I will be printing a bunch of these out to include in our treat basket and hope others do too! There are several opportunities for filament swaps for a more colorful band and cool glow in the dark effects. The band is sized for young kids and teens (tested on my own). My 6 year old wears it loose but secure with all three pins in the 3 closest holes, or snug with 2 pins in 2 holes. Adult sized versions may need to be scaled up a little. Default size is perfect to line up a row of bands to print at once on a 220x220 build plate. There are two versions, one with a logo and Happy Halloween message under the band, the other with a plain band base. The plain band base is for a little less fuss with color swaps. But if you have issues with the lettering underneath this version will help. I recommend ensuring you have properly calibrated your machine for your TPU filament. The spiderweb and pumpkin can be demanding on retractions. Pictures currently show my final prototype printed in draft quality, when I have new filament I will upload a better print. I have only tested this model with a 0.4mm nozzle, a 0.6 would probably be fine too but I recommend using recent versions of Cura or Prusaslicer for the Arachne engine's improvements on variable line width. Print pictured were printed on a mostly stock Artillery Genius Pro (upgraded fan duct and hardened 0.4mm nozzle). More photos coming when new filament colors arrive :)
