Nifty! But I only have 2 belts…
And don’t forget to buy them in pairs so that the organizer remains balanced.
Another reason for me to buy a 3d printer. Any tips on building one folks?
Try to go with something popular so you can find help when things inevitably go wrong. Expect to learn a lot when building. If you like that, awesome, do it. Otherwise you may want to consider a prebuilt prusa or bambu.
Ender, prusa, bambu are names that have popularity, longevity, and reputation.
You can find a ton of recommendations and best printer lists with a quick search. You would probably be fine with most printers on those lists if you wanted to save some money, but the above three are solid and give you a good budget range already.
Buy an ender 3 if you’re cheap and have plenty of tinker time. Buy something by Bambu if you have cash and want ease of use.
What’s the solution for plaque buckles?
Had to google this. Are these common? I personally think they’re not very good looking.
Common? Not sure. They’re available at standard shops. I have had one for 20 years that I picked up in highschool from American Eagle for $34.50. Why is that etched in my brain? I was specifically looking for one at the time.
I prefer the look (as long as it’s simple) and function.
What if you have an uneven number of belts because you take one or put one away? It would be very instable and would tilt without the same weight front and back.
That’s my thoughts too.
This is just a suggestion, not a knock or anything against the poster. But a solution I think could work is to rotate the hook 90 degrees and have 2 of them, one at each end. Then it would remain flat and balanced no matter where the belts are on the rack.
Not a perfect solution, you wont see or have access to the belts at the back and the mount takes up more space on the rail. But at least you aren’t playing a balancing game each time you take a belt.
There’s a little bit of movement but it’s not too annoying. When loaded up with belts, taking one off doesn’t make a big difference.
What if you have only one belt
