minimalist belt buckle

This thing was made with Tinkercad. Edit it online https://www.tinkercad.com/things/3bO7JZigg2o

This is a minimalist belt buckle meant to go with the grip6.com grippy nylon webbing belt. Their belts have a strong stopper built on to the end to keep it from sliding through the buckle slot. They sell excellent aluminum and carbon fiber buckles but I wanted to try 3-d printing some accessory buckles. So far my PLA buckle has held up but I have the aluminum one in my bag as a backup.

No I don't work for grip6. I am just a customer and a fan.

I designed one with a scalloped edge and look forward to seeing lots of variations by other makers.

For the scalloped buckle shown in the picture, I printed brown PLA and then Essentium Clear PLA for the top 4 layers so the infill pattern would show through.
