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 a meander like strip of various sizes and shapes, 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<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1075\" data-id=\"890\" src=\"https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/belt_green-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/belt_green-1.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/belt_green-1-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/belt_green-1-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/belt_green-1-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/belt_green-1-1536x1032.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1373\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"891\" src=\"https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/belt_white2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/belt_white2-1.jpg 1373w, https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/belt_white2-1-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/belt_white2-1-1024x764.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/belt_white2-1-768x573.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1373px) 100vw, 1373px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1364\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"893\" src=\"https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mounted-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mounted-1.jpg 1364w, https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mounted-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mounted-1-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mounted-1-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1364px) 100vw, 1364px\" \/><figcaption>Belt inserted, buckle closed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1364\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"894\" src=\"https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mounted_open-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mounted_open-1.jpg 1364w, https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mounted_open-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mounted_open-1-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bechele.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mounted_open-1-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1364px) 100vw, 1364px\" \/><figcaption>Buckle open &#8211;

You may observe the result in different views by changing the variable &#8220;visible&#8221; in section general of the customizer. Try to switch in between the different views and you see what they are for. in order to output the desired STL file for printing, you need to render the result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rendering and slicing of the belt may take quite some time because of the<br>complexity. On my Ryzen7 CPU the reference settings resut in a rendering time<br>of approx. 20 minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IMPORTANT NOTES:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not use any brim or raft for printing, otherwise you have a lot of cleaning<br>work to do. When creating the belt, it is important to use a marerial, that<br>has a reasonable high inter layer and bed adhesion such as PETG. Also it is<br>important that the resulting GCODE of your slicer is creating a continuous<br>movement.<br>If you do not respect the previous notes, probaply your belt will not be<br>stable enough to really use it. Usually the belt thickness must be a<br>multiple of your nozzle width, means the belt needs to consist of 1 to 4<br>continuous layers without fast positioning movements within the windings.<br>After printing the belt needs to be glued onto the buckle base. I recommend<br>cyan acrylate glue (super glue) for that.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary With this stretch belt designer you may design custom waist belts based on parameters you may change.
