Replacement bezel for a Casio G-Shock MRG-1

youmagine

I snapped the bezel of my watch, and to make matters worse, an authentic replacement part was nowhere to be found. The sight of my stripped-down timepiece was unbearable - it resembled a tin can from a tuna can, an image that stuck in my mind like a bad habit. I took matters into my own hands by designing a custom bezel from scratch, taking precise measurements of the watch and experimenting with Openscad's hull and Minkowsky operations to bring my vision to life. The dual-piece version printed flawlessly without any support material when its dial side faced downwards. On the other hand, the single-piece model required bridging to take shape properly. I opted for an extrusion width of 0.55mm and a layer height of 0.25mm on my Reprap.
