Mask Buckle Creality3d (NO LOGO) - Fully Parametric

thingiverse

Upon request I've uploaded a longer version with 5, 6 and 7 hooks per side. I also rebuilt the design in Fusion 360 as a parametric CAD design, which allows users to input the amount of hooks per side, as well as back length, making it possible to create a longer or shorter version without having too many or too few hooks. I don't know how to use OpenSCAD to make this into a customisable Thingiverse design, but feel free to do so. Also attached is a STEP file which makes it much easier to edit if needed. Hope this morning effort makes someone's life easier. Please do not print these to sell, as it may come back as bad karma. Creality3d designed a mask buckle for care personnel as an aid to prevent ear sores while wearing masks during the CoVid-19 emergency. Naomi Wu tweeted about it and I found it very exciting, but pointed out that having to print an area with the logo (although debossed, not embosed) would add printing time due to the change of direction in X and Y axis during extrusion. This made me famous for a few minutes, as Naomi "fucking" Wu (her words) dissed me, whom I had no idea was a celebrity. I apologised, then went ahead and edited the design removing the logo without hindering its structural integrity, which takes at least 10 minutes less to print. The model is in millimeters and on modern FDM printers can probably be printed in less than 15 minutes using a 1.0mm extrusion nozzle. Naomi Wu suggested printing using TPU, so if you're equipped, print these for your hospitals or make-shift emergency center and donate some money if you can afford it.
