Male Snap Buckle (Proto3000 Remix)

thingiverse

A quick remix for Proto3000's snap buckle, isolated to just the male prongs, since they're inevitably the ones that break. I tweaked the dimensions in order to create a custom replacement for my dad's "Mad Bomber" ushanka, first in orange ABS to prototype, and then in black ABS for the final part. If building a buckle half for yourself: -Don't use PLA. It's brittle, and work-hardening will break the prongs. ABS at 50% infill works great. -Do use supports. -Use a decent infill. -Use Cura or your printing app to stretch/squash/shrink/embiggen the buckle to match your part. (i.e. turn off scale-lock and scale each dimension independently). -Use medium-grit sandpaper and a knife for fine finishing post-print if it doesn't quite fit.
