Okay, so I’ve been wanting to organize my wrestling belts for a while now. They’re just kinda lying around, and it’s a mess. I saw some cool display stands online, but they were either too expensive or just didn’t look right. So, I figured, why not try to 3D print my own?
I started by searching for some 3D models. I needed something simple, just a basic holder that could keep the belts upright. I found a few options, but one really caught my eye – it was clean, simple, and looked pretty sturdy.
Finding the Right Model
I did a quick search on some of those 3D model websites, and I was lucky,I found what i want! The file name is “wrestling belt holder 3d stl”, so I download it.
Slicing and Printing
- Slicing:I use Cura for slicing.I loaded the STL file into Cura, and messed around with the settings a bit.
- Supports:I enabled supports, just to be safe, especially for any overhanging parts.
- Infill:I went with a 20% infill – seemed like a good balance between strength and print time.
- Material and Temperature:I used some regular PLA filament, and set my printer to the recommended temperature for that filament (usually around 200-210°C for the nozzle and 60°C for the bed).
Then, I hit print! My printer’s kinda slow, so it took a few hours, maybe 5 or 6. But hey, that’s fine, I just let it do its thing.
The Final Result!
Once it was done, I carefully removed the supports – that part can be a little tricky, you gotta be gentle so you don’t break anything. And… it worked! The holder came out great. It’s strong enough to hold the belts, and it looks pretty good too.
I’m super happy with how this turned out. It’s way better than having my belts all over the place, and it was a fun little project. Plus, I saved some money by printing it myself instead of buying something online. If you’re looking for a way to display your wrestling belts, and you have a 3D printer, I definitely recommend giving this a try!
