The Factorio Belt Belt

I remade the buckle and uploaded it as a separate file, available for download at [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3085693](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3085693). If you prefer not to use this version, that's okay. The Factorio belt belt uses a 1mm mirror wire or picture wire to thread the pieces together. To get started, fold the wire in half. For example, if you need 36 inches of wire, use about 75 inches total. Slide the buckle on first and hold it down with a small clamp while threading on the rest. To finish, twist the wires several times and secure them with the endcap piece filled with strong glue to conceal the twists. I recommend using PETG, but any plastic should be strong enough for general use since the force is applied perpendicularly to the layers. If you're printing with PLA, try printing the buckle a little hotter than usual to achieve excellent layer adhesion.
