Title
Garmin Forerunner Watchband Adapters
Description
I have large wrists and so I really liked pharao's wristband extension for my Garmin Forerunner 235. I really do not like silicon bands though, so after looking and not finding any, I decided to make an adapter so I could use a nylon watchband instead.
I have printed and use, the 22mm watchband adapter, but I figured I would design some more for anyone that may want a different size (if you print in another size and it does not work, or want a size not here, ping me). I am also working out an adapter to use as a paracord wristband and will upload when done.
Parts
None
Assembly
After printing, I have had the best success, using small drill bits to clean out the holes for the Garmin band pin (5/64) and the watch snap pin (1/16). You do not need to make the holes bigger; it was just helpful to perfectly round the holes.

None, my original design, but I got the idea from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:634955
