Summary

Articulated Release Buckle Watch Band (70mm wrist diameter)

This was suppose to be a one-two hours project, but took me about eight hours longer. The 4 test prints on the release buckle took longer then I'd expected.

The wristband is actually really comfortable to wear and very stylish.

There is not a whole lot of work after the print.
The 10% support material is nothing.

Enjoy!!
