My first ever swimming goggles have been faithfully following me for almost two decades until the flexible middle part finally gave up and started crumbling apart. About eighteen years ago, I purchased a pair of swimming goggles, which I used every time I swam - a lot at that time in my life. As I grew older, I didn't use them as frequently, and they ended up stored away in a drawer. However, one day, when I was getting ready to swim again, I picked up my beloved swimming goggles, and they still looked great except for the small piece that fits over the nose. I decided to create a new design for this part using OpenSCAD. At first, I printed it with PLA to see if I got all the measurements correct, then attached it to the goggles and submerged it in hot water to make the PLA flexible. It looked good, but the PLA was a bit too brittle, so I decided to print it again with flex filament - it fits perfectly like the original part. Now, I'm excited to see how long this new one will last. With 3D printing technology, I can always simply print another when needed. I have provided the OpenSCAD source code for anyone who wants to modify and create their own design to fit their swimming goggles. Alternatively, you can press the "Open in Customizer" button and design a custom part that fits your goggles.
