Collar Stay

prusaprinters

<p>This is my current collection of collar stays for my dress/work shirts.</p><p>These are modelled from my actual collar stays that came with my work shirts which needed replacing as some broke over time and others went AWOL.</p><p>I suggest printing these in PETG as it is flexible yet stiff enough to do the job.<br>I tried printing in PLA, but they snapped in half way to easily.</p><p>The nice thing about these models is you can up/down size them in your slicer (x and y axis) to fit the length/width you need. I would keep the z axis (how thick they are) at 1mm as I found 0.5mm to be too thin and did not provide enough stability for your collar tip.<br>1mm seems to be the 'just right' spot for PETG to provide the strength yet flexibility needed to keep your collar tips straight.</p><p>I designed these in Fusion360 by taking a picture of my collar stays together, importing the picture and tracing then extruding them.</p><p>I may add more to the collection in the future but I find just resizing them as needed from these files works for basically all of my work shirts.</p>
