Zoom H1n case belt holder

thingiverse

Belt-Holder for the new Zoom H1n-recorder. You can hook it on your belt or anywhere. The recorder is held securely by a snap latch. Print it with PETG, which should be slightly flexible. I discovered that you can bend PETG more easily in the direction of its layers, so print it with orientation lying on the side. This makes the clip and snap latch more flexible as well. I printed some test versions through trial and error, but encountered issues with buildup on the nozzle (PETG is very sticky). I tried different temperatures and cooling rates to overcome this problem. More cooling resulted in better details and a smoother surface, but also eliminated the buildup on the nozzle. Unfortunately, this came at the cost of reduced strength. In my case, I learned that printing it hotter (235°C, above the recommended temperature) with 50% fan speed was the key to success. Despite wasting nearly half a roll of Formfutura PETG in the process, I finally achieved the desired results. Note: One version has the character "ZOOM" and one does not.
