Strap adjuster / stop buckle for 32mm strap

thingiverse

I needed an affordable and quick solution to remove and reinstall the end clip mechanism on a 32mm belt (1.25mm thick), and that's exactly what I accomplished using the provided STL file. I successfully lifted about 10kg without it breaking, printing it upright just like in the original STL. Designed primarily as a stopper rather than an adjuster, this tool surprisingly works well for both purposes. The included step file allows you to modify it if needed; adding more material at the top and bottom will enhance its strength since most of the stress occurs there before the center pin breaks. You could also print it flat for added strength, but then the teeth won't come out as nicely, and I'm unsure if it would allow the strap to slide smoothly. I printed it in PLA with a temperature of 210C on a cold bed, using a 0.5 nozzle with 1mm wall thickness and top/bottom height, along with 10% infill, but there's little to no material to infill unless you upscale it. A brim wasn't necessary for me, but if you experience poor bed adhesion, you'll struggle to print it upright without one. (To be honest, I'm not even sure what this device is called, so please enlighten me if it has a proper name.)
