Wearable Chain Belt w/ Flash Logo

thingiverse

I've been in need of a new belt lately and I had the idea to simply create one from scratch. After failing to find any suitable designs on Thingiverse (apologies if someone has already made a similar design), I decided to design my own, and here's the final result! Please note that the orientations are all incorrect - the side facing you in all the pictures should be positioned on the buildplate.\r\n\r\nI wanted to use an alternative buckle system than the standard leather belt, so I utilized this rotating hook concept that feels incredibly satisfying to use (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h7JqQb8LGM). Additionally, I included the Solidworks files in case anyone wants a different logo or needs to make any modifications. An exploded view of the main buckle assembly is also provided in case it's not clear how to assemble it.\r\n\r\nFor axles (if that's the correct term in this context), I used paper clips obtained from Walmart. Wire, filament, and other materials would also work, but the hole size would need to be adjusted accordingly.\r\n\r\nThe buckle is approximately 8 cm long and the Inner/Outer Fold Chains are 0.5 cm long, so keep that in mind when determining how many chains to print.
