Description
A colleague asked me for a replacement for a broken part of a bicycle helmet buckle from “Alpina”, since a replacement is hard to find - so I designed one. This kind of buckle seems to be relatively common, so if you need one with different dimensions, I can adapt the model. Ask in the comments and there's a good chance I'll upload it.
Edit: Added uvex version
Dimensions (alpina):
webbing width (for chin strap): 16mm
ratchet strap dimensions:
width and thickness are the most important values of these, the others are probably more tolerant.
Printing: I recommend increasing the perimeters (walls). Also usual PLA might be too brittle.
