Redesign</b></a> by **Tron-X** (My original remix and improvement) <hr> The Coffee Cup Mask Strap was remixed from **Remixed mask strap with symbols Revamp** by **jchau57**. I added 0.3mm height (one additional layer) to the coffee inside the cup so I could print it in a different color than the strap itself, creating a unique and personalized design. I moved my Smiley Mask Strap from my **Surgical Mask Strap ULTRA-Fast -Cheap -Compact! Redesign** remix because I want to keep that the plain ultra-fast strap. This design will be for the masks with the added symbols, offering a stylish and functional option. I've also included my .gcode files for my Ender 3 to get 15 straps to fit on the bed, making it easy to print multiple designs at once. The file beginning with _2C_ is the 2-color version; it pauses for filament change after the 3rd layer is printed. In addition, I added a couple of Stars & Strips Mask Straps to this design. _RBW Stars and Stripes Mask Strap.stl_ prints with Red for the bottom 3 layers, Blue for the next 2, and White for the last 2. _WBR Stars and Stripes Mask Strap.stl_ prints with White for the bottom 3 layers, Blue for the next 2, and Red for the last 2. If you alternate printing these, you won't have to change filament colors between prints. For the Smiley and Coffee Mask Straps, you can print the bottom 3 layers in one color and the last 3 layers in another color for a nice effect. Note, the layer count in this and the previous paragraph is assuming a layer height of 0.3mm. Here is the order in which I print these and the straps in <b>jchau57</b>'s **Remixed mask strap with symbols Revamp** to minimize the number of color changes. I only change the filament color once per print, yet get dual-colored straps. <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr><td><b>Mask Strap</b></td><td><b>Bottom 3 Layers</b><br>(0.3mm layer height)</td><td><b>Remaining Layers</b></td><b></b></tr> <tr><td>Heart</td><td>Yellow</td><td>Red</td></tr> <tr><td>Cross</td><td>Red</td><td>White</td></tr> <tr><td>Life</td><td>White</td><td>Blue</td></tr> <tr><td>Superman</td><td>Blue</td><td>Red</td></tr> <tr><td>Medical Symbol</td><td>Red</td><td>Silver</td></tr> <tr><td>Shield</td><td>Silver</td><td>Gray</td></tr> </table> Or come up with your own color scheme. For example, if you don't have Silver or Gray, try Yellow instead. You can also insert both of the Stars & Stripes Mask Straps in this sequence wherever the ending color is Red or White. <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/make:794302">Also see my make of <b>jchau57</b>'s <b>Remixed mask strap with symbols Revamp</b></a> to see how those straps look using these colors. <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4269061">Check out my <b>Surgical Mask Strap ULTRA-Fast -Cheap -Compact! Redesign</b> design</a> for tips on putting the most number of straps on your print bed and for reducing the print time by increasing the print speed. I can get 15 straps on my Ender 3 bed and print time is about 10 or 11 minutes per strap.</p> <hr> Edit 2020-05-19: Added <b>jchau57</b>'s Shield Mask Strap to the table.
