Sunglasses #2

     — Link to my other design:  Full Rim Sunglasses —  

Features:

• Designed to use Oakley Gascan lenses
• Printed to lens & face curvature, no need for inexact heated frame bending
• Print in place hinges make for simple one piece print with no frame assembly required
• STL file available with and without built-in supports
• Simply twist hinges to free them up after printing
• Built-in supports leave a one layer gap (with 0.1mm layers) for easy removal
• Oakley Gascan lenses slide in easily and stay in place

Print Settings:

• Orientation: Print sunglasses upside down with the top in contact with the build plate
• Print with 100% infill (about 19g of filament total)
• 0.1mm layer height if using file with built-in supports

STL File Versions of Sunglasses Frame:

1. No supports
2. Built-in brow supports designed for easy removal when printed with 0.1mm layer height

Lenses:

Oakley Gascan replacement lenses are available on the internet for around $10 or even less

Other Information:

• I have printed all my test frames in PLA, but a more temperature resistant material is probably a good idea if you are going to leave them in a hot car
• Hinges are reasonably robust but will not stand up to abuse

Short video on freeing hinges, support removal and lens installation:

This style of sunglasses are referred to as half frame, half rim, semi-rimless, browline or clubmaster.
