Description
With this program you can create waist belts of meander shaped form of various
sizes and shapes. Not too much attention needs to be taken to parametrize the
parts. In most cases the resulting parts are still sensful if the obvious size
relations remain reasonable.
Do not use any brim or raft for printing, otherwise you have a lot of cleaning
work to do. When creating the belt, it is important to use a marerial, that
has a reasonable high inter layer and bed adhesion such as PETG. Also it is
important that the resulting GCODE of your slicer is creating a continuous
movement.
If you do not respect the previous notes, probaply your belt will not be
stable enough to really use it. Usually the belt thickness must be a
multiple of your nozzle width, means the belt needs to consist of 1 to 4
continuous layers without fast positioning movements within the windings.
After printing the belt needs to be glued onto the buckle base. I recommend
cyan acrylate glue (super glue) for that.
Rendering and slicing of the belt may take quite some time because of the
complexity. On my Ryzen7 CPU the reference settings resut in a rendering time
of approx. 20 minutes!
