Print a new belt buckle for your GRIP6 belt strap. Being plastic, it can travel with you and go through metal detectors.

Printing the belt buckle with its iconic curve would require support and show horrible layer lines. Instead, I printed it flat, then curved it by slightly reheating it while a rubber band was pushing it against the original metal buckle. For PLA, 60 °C or 140 °F worked perfectly. The result is surprisingly strong! I have been wearing it for a couple of months, and it still holds up.

You can customize the buckle in your slicer (for example, with modifiers or negative volumes) or in CAD (Fusion 360 and STEP files included).

I also included a version with a notch that accommodates the stop at the end of the Grip6 strap so it sits a bit more flat. 👌
