Description

Your Apple Watch straps should not live in a drawer or a travel case.

They should be on display - so you can make a decision about which one to wear, as swiftly as they are to change.

This version fits up to 5 straps - and there's a file for A1 Mini users, which fits up to 4 straps.

The strap holders were primarily made for Apple Watches measuring 42/44/45/49mm (width), but my wife's Apple Watch straps fit nicely too, meaning straps for 38/40/41mm Apple Watches will also fit.

PRINTING GUIDELINES:

The strap holder is standing when you load it in. Keep it that way, or you will get overhang issues.
Print with a 5mm brim to ensure bed adhesion.
Save time and print with 0.3mm layer height (that's what I did), or get something nicer looking by going down to 0.2mm layer height. Lower than that is diminishing returns as far as I'm concerned.
Print fairly slowly, or the top part may be warped. Fairly slowly still means a mere 1 hour print.
To hang it on the wall, I just used nano tape. If enough people want it, I can make a version with screw holes.

Are there versions for just 3 straps? No. I thought of making versions for 3, 2 and 1 - but let's face it: We all own more than 3 watch straps anyway.

TIP! Print more and hang them side by side for hanging even more straps on the wall.

UPDATE 2024-06-22:

Version 2.0 is up! This version will fit straps that are slightly too wide for the original V1.
The new version has SCREW HOLES for those that want another way of mounting than double-sided tape or nano tape.
- Using screws is recommended if you have heavy straps; fx. oyster bracelets
The new version fits up to 6 straps

Easy to print and good fit :) Thank you!

Yay - great looking straps you have! A word of caution for nano tape; at steady room temperatures of over 30 ºC, it seems to soften and stretch quite a lot, if the straps are heavy. As I have many metal bracelets, some of which are pretty heavy, mine ended up falling off. I've created a new version 2, which I'm currently testing and will upload very soon. It has more space in the width the people with broad 45mm straps, and holes for screws in case the double-sided tape or nano tape doesn't hold up.

No more
