CAD or programming knowlege is not necessary. The output can be 3D STL files you can send to a 3D printer. To be able to work with the code, you need to install OpenScad, which is Open source software you can use for free: <a href=\"https:\/\/openscad.org\">https:\/\/openscad.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The belts consist of segments of various sizes,shapes, patterns and image or text fillings. Not too much attention needs<br>to be taken to parametrize the parts. In most cases the resulting parts are<br>still sensful if the obvious size relations remain reasonable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">IMPORTANT NOTES:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Text and SVG output may be positive or negative &#8211; means it subtracts or it adds<br>to the segment body. The output becomes positive when parameter text_thickness<br>or svg_thickness is 0. It become negative with a border around in case of any<br>value greater than 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following explaining videos are available for this Thing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An overview for the Belt designer: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Overview of the OpenScad Belt Designer and its belts\" width=\"843\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UJFz4k5otQQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>How to operate the Belt buckle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How  the buckles of segment belts lock and unlock\" width=\"843\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1wQ6k8BO5L4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> <br>Explanation of the different parameters for the customizer: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"OpenScad Belt Designer Parameters\" width=\"843\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FjfmxqyNwAM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The code can be downloaded from Thingiverse: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thingiverse.com\/thing:4818252\">https:\/\/www.thingiverse.com\/thing:4934332<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively you may download all in the following package:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-2abf5ff3-65d6-4db2-be31-8ba1b5d8ba7f\" href=\"https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/segment_belt.zip\">segment_belt.zip<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/segment_belt.zip\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-2abf5ff3-65d6-4db2-be31-8ba1b5d8ba7f\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The zip files inside the zip archive are some samples saved as stl files.<br><strong>Note:<\/strong> These files are just some samples.
