Customizable Headband

As I write this headband-v51.stl is 160mm across at the widest point. This is an OpenSCAD file to let you customize that.

I've uploaded a 180mm version, but you can open the RevisedHeadband.scad with OpenSCAD, open its Customizer pane and enter a different value for widen. Negative values also work to shrink the widest point distance.

How to Use:

• Get a recent version of OpenSCAD.
• Put headband-v51.stl and RevisedHeadband.scad in the same directory
• You may have to zoom out (scroll wheel on mouse) to see the whole headband.
• Set widen to taste.
• Render (on the OpenSCAD Design menu) This fixes Preview drawing artifacts
• Export as STL (on the OpenSCAD File menu)
• Slice and print normally

How RevisedHeadband.scad works:

• RevisedHeadband.scad reads in the original stl file, makes copies, and slices and clones the copies to make a revised headband.
• Like all OpenSCAD files, RevisedHeadband.scad is just a short text file that you can open and edit in any text editor.

How I designed this:

• I stood in front of a mirror with a ruler on my head, looking absolutely ridiculous, and eye-balled it.

Slicing and Printing

• 0.4mm nozzle, 0.3mm layer height, 5% gyroid infill, brim, PLA.
