wrist band bracelet

thingiverse

Despite being able to find it manually, for some reason I cannot find the original creators 'thing' either using the number or the title while using the makerbot search for a remix. My bands here were based on the band/s found here:- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1538251 Printing his original I found the fitting less than desirable. It has four fastening points but when using only 2 for it to fit properly around my wrist it seemed to catch on things and also didn't look as good as when all 4 button fasteners were in use. I printed 2 of his bracelets, one of which I binned as I couldn't get it to fasten. The holes and plugs are/were very tight and fastening one handed was already hard enough. That failure was what prompted me to tweak the design and while I was doing that I modified the length as well. For all the versions here, I increased the length of the bracelet and also altered the fastener. You should find this/these a lot easier to fasten without sacrificing any of the functionality of the original version. I have since printed 3 of my version without any issues in the prints or with fastening. The one in the photo is a friends British Rail band. Using Cura, I printed them in dynamic quality at 20 percent infill using Yoyi TPU.
