38mm Corrugated Gun Belt

Warning: The current version of this belt broke after just a day and a half of use. The limiting factor appears to be tensile strength. To address, I'm considering polycarbonate filament and/or even thicker extrusions.

Use the models that Cisco provides for his original Caterpillar Belt. Just print them at a different scale, with substantially different slicer settings, as outlined below. The result is a taller and stiffer belt which I hope will be suitable for supporting a holster. Belt height is 38mm (1½"), a sturdy size widely supported by holsters which still fits the belt loops of most pants.
