The Absolute BEST TPU Watchstrap (20mm)

Experience comfort with this customizable, open-lattice watchstrap. After wearing a 60A TPU version for months, I can confidently say this is more comfortable and stable than any traditional metal, leather, nylon, or silicone strap I’ve ever worn.

Design Features

  • Breathable Lattice: The open-cell structure prevents sweat build-up and provides a unique aesthetic.

  • Highly Adaptable: Optimized for ultra-soft filaments (60A) but works perfectly well with standard TPU.

  • Reinforced Durability: Specific perimeter settings ensure the buckle rings remain strong while the strap stays flexible.

  • Customization: Experiment with different Infill Patterns (Gyroid and Honeycomb work great!) and Infill Percentages to adjust the flexibility and style.

Recommended Print Settings

To achieve the open-lattice look shown in the photos, use these specific settings in your slicer:

  • For the bodies BuckleSideInfill and StrapSideInfill: Set top and bottom Layers to 0, and set Perimeters to 2 or 3 for reinforcement of holes. Tested using 20-35% infill.

  • For bodies BuckleSideFull and StrapSideFull: Set Perimeters to 99 to ensure a solid, continuous border.

Compatibility & Testing

  • Width: 20mm

  • Tested Materials: 60A and 85A TPU. (Note: 60A offers the best "premium" feel but requires a well-tuned extruder).

I’m excited to see your variations! Please post your makes and comment on which infill patterns worked best for you!
