Mint tin survival belt buckle

thingiverse

This design stands out for its simplicity and straightforward approach. To get started, you'll need a few key components: * A single 3mm screw (or similar model) * Optional 3mm threaded inserts * A belt that matches the design specifications (up to 35mm wide) * At least one Eclipse Mint Tin (or similar product), measuring 22X40X76mm * A small magnet * A blob of hot melt glue Keep in mind that this is a prototype, so your experience may vary. Many questions should be answered by watching the attached video: https://youtu.be/-20NyfeEYBw The basic idea behind this design is to create "modules" out of mint tins that can be easily swapped out as needed. This solves the problem of what to do with waste mint tins. My vision for this project involves creating mini survival/first aid modules, but the possibilities are endless. Anything that fits inside a mint tin can work here. The idea is to carry several modules and switch them according to conditions, having quick access to whatever items you need. There's also an in-line module option if the buckle design doesn't suit your taste. This design should be compatible with poorly calibrated printers and various materials, thanks to its tolerances. A lesson was learned from my previous Swiss Army SD card holder project. Your feedback is welcome as always, and the design files are included in Inventor 2015 format.
