Yubi Key Watch band attachment

Hi! Big thanks for giving my design a look.

In all honesty, Yubikeys aren't exactly my field and this was designed in mind for my aunt and her coworkers- of which have to use a separate big, bulky band to scan their RFCs during their shifts. If this works for them, it should work for you.

If there an issue with the design, i'd be happy to try to rectify it. Don't be afraid to shoot me a message or a comment and i'll try my best to help out!

This was made with the intent for FLEXIBLE filament. I've used Priline 95A, which I find to be more than applicable for any flexible prints I need. Highly recommended.

Normal stiff/nonflexible (ABS/PLA sorts of filaments) will NOT work. They will produce a stiff prop that will shatter within the first few attempts. Save yourself the time and effort- Learn to print with TPU (Or 'rubber' resin)

Speaking of 'rubber' resins. I hadn't had the chance to trial it on my SLA printer but I think it should print just fine on it- if not better than FDM printers. It has its quirks and different methods so I could be wrong... Feel free to let me know if you produce good results with this.

INCLUDED:

In this folder, FOUR variants are available to you.

"LARGE BAND" Will fit the average watch band. A watch band 20mm wide and 3mm thick will comfortably sit in this.

"SMALL BAND" Will fit small watch bands, namely the slim apple watch bands. A watch band 15mm and 2.5mm thick will comfortably sit in this

"NORMAL" is the base subvariant. It will have the same visible holes as pretty much any 3d printed/commercial YubiKey holder.

"NOHOLE" variants have... No holes. This is good if you don't want whatever gunk you're working (or merely existing near) to collect overtime and need to be cleaned out as often... Or you just want a sleeker design. 
I don't think this will impact the functionality- but as per usual, feel free to shoot me a message if it does.

USAGE:

To use this, Insert the YubiKey NFC chip into the holder via prying it apart (ideally as little as possible as to prolong usage lifespan), then slotting it into the band of your watch of choice and wearing the watch as you would any other day.

They are intentionally snug fits- you may need to hold both sides of the band gap and pull it onwards. 
This is to minimize slack- ensuring it won't be aggravating you by moving around.

TO NOTE:

TO MY KNOWLEDGE: This works swimmingly for the NFC scan feature. This isn't really the thing to use if you need to frequently plug your key into something- this is meant as a quick and easy swipe/scan. You could still hypothetically use it if you need to slot it in, but... I don't recommend it.

I recommend keeping these printed on their SIDE as shown in the provided images within the folder or the Cults3d page (This is precisely how it is given to you). It was made so that it's as strong as it could possibly be with as little filament as possible.

There is a caveat to this: The band isn't incredible tough. While you could pull a ligament trying to rip this thing in half lengthwise- you could snag and tear the band segment if you really wanted to. It should be strong enough (given your settings are decent!) to survive any snags, though.

Speaking of snags, I trialed it a bit and never really managed to get it caught on anything. In and out of pockets felt just fine- all should be well. Undoubtedly, it may catch time to time... That's just the nature of having the wear something else.

Printing vertically could actually improve the band strength exponentially. however it might leave the holder prone to splitting on a layer line depending on what filament you use/wear over time.

The band is intentionally thin so that you can actually wear this thing during a work shift- otherwise it'll lead to wrist irritation likely. Nobody wants a bunch of things strapped to them during their workday so I attempted to make it as seamless as possible.
