Testing the belt with another 3d printed prototype
Meanwhile I incorporated all changed we had to do to the belt because of limitations into the 3d design and printed the parts in ABS. I acetone vapor smoothed the parts.
This resulted in a belt that is robust enough to let me test-wear it for a short amount of time.
Well, it fit perfectly and I could already tell that it would be super comfortable. I could hardly wait for the real-deal!
Your belt looks awesome! Are the mm odels available anywhere to download? I'd be very interested in giving this model a try and being able to print a prototype would be excellent!
ReplyDeleteHi and thanks. Currently I have not published the models. Perhaps I will clean them up and post them somewhere with some instructions. The prototype is indeed a good thing to try before getting it in metal. It is fragile, but stable enough for testing the fitting etc.
DeleteThat would be excellent! I have a 3D printer, but my CAD skills are not exactly great :D
