Samsung Gear S3 Flex watchband

thingiverse

This is a 22mm band for the Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch, (but it could work with other 22mm watches). I designed this because I was tired of searching for a band that suit my needs and look sturdy and cool. There are a lot of cheap bands out there, but I am a maker, you know what I mean... Designed sturdy in accordance to the watch looks. No vitamins required. Snap type fit (I call it macro-velcro) & secure closing. Recommended to change filament color at 2 or 3mm height for a cool bicolor look. Part3 requires baseplate support. I am using Ninjaflex due to its strength but any TPE material will work. Keep in mind that this looks better on big wrists... Also provided an adapter to other 22mm bands just in case. Print the adapter in PLA or ABS (not flex). Enjoy! (11-JUL-2017): Production started. Minor enhancemets. Angled 20º the watch fit. Raised the pin hole by 1mm to sunken the watch's fit. Added a longer band for bigger wrists (should be enough). Updated design and STL's accordingly. Will post pics of new hi-res builds when prints complete. Working slowly as I have only one machine on flex at this time and have little spare time due to work... (10-JUL-2017): Pics of my quick B&W lo-res build added (0.2mm layer, NinjaFlex). There's still place for enhancements, keep tuned... (09-JUL-2017) Main tests ended. Removed the work in progress status. Working models posted. Updated stl's and sources. Enhanced grip to watch, rebuild buckle's STL which had a tricky render problem (couldn't find the point, but it works now). Rounded strap ends. Minor tests still in progress. Pics will soon be posted when I print a decent build, but at this time I can say it is working better than expected... Maybe I post a longer strap for you guys with larger wrists. Ask for it if needed. Adapter 22mm STL added (ABS/PLA) (07-JUL-2017): Project started. Posted a work-in-progress prototype. Tests pending. Requesting feedback. No feedback received, continuing research on my own...
