Do you think belts are expensive but necessary? Would you rather print one than make another trip to the store? This 3D printed belt solves all your problems. Or at least the ones involving keeping your pants up.
At just over 42 inches long, it's a fully functional, wearable belt. Print using TPU for flexibility and durability.
Durability
I've worn one nearly every day for over two years without a single issue. Not bad for something that came out of a 3D printer.
Suggested Print Setup
Printed in TPU-90A with 1.6 mm walls and 45% infill, this belt is surprisingly tough and flexible.
I recommend enabling supports from the build plate only, with an overhang threshold greater than 55°. This should limit supports to the clasps on the buckle. If you prefer manually adding supports, just place them under those clasps.
A little Elmer's glue stick on the build plate can also help. TPU sometimes sticks a bit too well, and a layer of glue can actually make removal easier. Sounds backward, but it works.
