Description
I lost one of the nose pads for my favorite pair of sunglasses so I designed a replacement. The nose pad includes the dimple for the sunglasses to securely grip the pad.
Best results have been from SLA printing in flexible resin, but it also works with a rigid resin.
I took rough measurements from the remaining nose pad, then modeled it in 123D Design. After Ia few iterations I was happy with the design. I've been using it for over 6 months now.
Printing in clear or gray works well. A clear flexible resin would be ideal, but I don't have that yet.
