After slacking/slaving away all week long in my T-shirt and jeans, I like to dress up in my stiff collar shirt with cuff links.

Don’t we all?!


So you’re going to want to use this ready-made cuff link base design for all your wonderful button designs, to turn them into your own cuff link version. 

Just download, add it to your existing button design in PrusaSlicer, raise your button design to the platform (above the pivot), scale your button (sorry the hinges or pivots probably won't scale well) and you’re ready to print! And then …

___ 

Designed to print quick! 12 minutes or less. 

Perfect for that impromptu invitation to dinner with that Ian Flemming's spy character's adversary.

The free end is printed flat and used in that orientation to be pushed through the buttonhole, then the hinge can be turned 180 degrees to create the tee shape to hold it in your shirt.

It rotates with a little interference fit to prevent coming undone until you rotate it back.

Please don't try to rotate free the joint mechanism until it has cooled down!

The stem seems a little long when extended. I can see now that I can print flat with the top of the tee in the other orientation. I guess there is room for improvement with this design, but it works…
