Garmin Forerunner Watchband Adapters

thingiverse

I have large wrists and so I really liked pharao's wristband extension for my Garmin Forerunner 235. I really do not like silicon bands though, so after looking and not finding any, I decided to make an adapter so I could use a nylon watchband instead. I have printed and use, the 22mm watchband adapter, but I figured I would design some more for anyone that may want a different size (if you print in another size and it does not work, or want a size not here, ping me). I am also working out an adapter to use as a paracord wristband, and will upload when done. After printing, I have had the best success, using small drill bits to clean out the holes for the garmin band pin (~5/64) and the watch snap pin (~1/16). You do not need to make the holes bigger, it was just helpful to perfectly round the holes. Print Settings Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Printrbot Simple Metal Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: .1mm Infill: 35% Notes: I wanted these to be as smooth as possible so I printed these slow (@30mm/s) and at high res (.1mm). I also printed them @35% infill, which is pretty much solid for something this size. Lay flat when you print for best results.
