Double Side Release Buckle Female for MOLLE (compression straps)

Update 2021-05-29:

Reduced the stretch to 2mm and removed a bit material where the buckles should snap. Now they fit better :)

Stretched the design by 3mm. Buckles have now more space inside. Mine came out a few times in the past since they were pushing against each other.

This is a holder for the compression straps of a Tasmanian Tiger Combat Pack MK II during the time they are not being in use. In my case: pretty much always :)

It also fits pretty much any side release buckle for 25mm straps I guess. Perhaps somebody will use it as a connector for "male to male" (but they are not strong enough I guess).

Since I cannot add more than one source for the remix:

Basically it is a remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4076701 which I used for a while. It hides the connectors better and has a cleaner look than the original design by fns720. Thank you, ootes :)

For asthetic and functional reasons I always wanted a real MOLLE equipment piece but there was nothing better as that.

So I grabbed the STL of the remix by ootes, took the idea of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2871336, extended the clips (longer and deeper) and created something like Frankenstein did. Well... it is alive now.

What changed?

• "Real" MOLLE-clips added which allow the piece to be very close to the backpack.
• No need for paracord anymore
• A little bit smaller since there is no need for holes anymore
• Groove line for guidance which some buckles require (TT does)
• SketchUp file is available. Add your logo or text to the front if you like.

The pictures show the white prototype since I did not print the final thing in black (or transparent maybe) yet.

The new pictures with the black buckle show the final version with an individual text / number and some comparison between ootes' design, my prototype remix and the final design.
