Surgical Mask Strap Remix w/ Symbols

Remix of:
Surgical Mask Strap Remix by Suraky (Kudos for the original design!)
Remixed mask strap with symbols by jchau57 (Really like the added symbols!)
Surgical Mask Strap ULTRA-Fast -Cheap -Compact! by Tron-X (My original remix)


The Coffee Cup Mask Strap was remixed from Remixed mask strap with symbols by jchau57. I added 0.3mm height (one additional layer) to the coffee inside the cup so I could print it in a different color than the strap itself.

I moved my Smiley Mask Strap from my Surgical Mask Strap ULTRA-Fast -Cheap -Compact! remix because I want to keep that the plain ultra-fast strap. This design will be for the masks with the added symbols. I've also included my .gcode files for my Ender 3 to get 15 straps to fit on the bed. The file beginning with 2C is the 2-color version; it pauses for filament change after the 3rd layer is printed.

In addition, I added a couple of Stars & Strips Mask Straps to this design. RBW Stars and Stripes Mask Strap.stl prints with Red for the bottom 3 layers, Blue for the next 2, and White for the last 2. WBR Stars and Stripes Mask Strap.stl prints with White for the bottom 3 layers, Blue for the next 2, and Red for the last 2. If you alternate printing these, you won't have to change filament colors between prints.

For the Smiley and Coffee Mask Straps, you can print the bottom 3 layers in one color and the last 3 layers in another color for a nice effect. Note, the layer count in this and the previous paragraph is assuming a layer height of 0.3mm.

Here is the order in which I print these and the straps in jchau57's Remixed mask strap with symbols to minimize the number of color changes. I only change the filament color once per print, yet get dual-colored straps.

Or come up with your own color scheme. For example, if you don't have Silver or Gold, try Gray or Yellow instead.

You can also insert both of the Stars & Stripes Mask Straps in this sequence wherever the ending color is Red or White.

Also see my make of jchau57's Remixed mask strap with symbols to see how those straps look using these colors.

Check out my Surgical Mask Strap ULTRA-Fast -Cheap -Compact! design for tips on putting the most number of straps on your print bed and for reducing the print time by increasing the print speed. I can get 15 straps on my Ender 3 bed and print time is about 10 or 11 minutes per strap.
