Watch Links with 1.75mm Filament pins.

thingiverse

I recently saw a friend wearing a sleek metal link watch that caught my attention and sparked an idea to create a printed version myself. I took precise measurements of my watch strap, finding it to be approximately 24mm in width, and then went ahead and designed the rest without much further consideration. After some time, I came up with a link design featuring dimensions of 24mm wide by 14.5mm long by 5mm deep. Moreover, the axle distance between two opposite links measured exactly 9.5mm on center. Please note that this project currently consists solely of individual links and has not yet progressed to include a clasp or buckle component. Included with this design are both Rhino5 models as well as STL files ready for printing. Now, to print these links simply run off however many you like using your preferred settings, then stack them together and pass some filament through the existing holes in each link, before finally cutting off the excess length of the filament, which you can then repeat for each additional pair.
