Badge Buddy Pin Holder

Badge Buddy Pin Holder – Protect Your Badge from Pin Damage

This model is designed to fit behind most standard horizontal ID badges and serves as a backing for award pins, service pins, or decorative items. Instead of punching holes through your badge or badge buddy, attach your pins to this holder to keep your badge intact and professional.

• Intended Use: Nurses, doctors, hospital staff, or anyone who wants to display recognition pins without ruining their badge.
• Design Features:
  • 1.2 mm diameter holes sized for standard pin backs
  • Slim 1.5 mm backing for a low-profile fit
  • Easy to print, no supports needed
• Suggested Print Settings:
  • Material: PLA or PETG
  • Layer Height: 0.2 mm
  • Infill: 10-15%, depending on how strong you need it to be

This is a simple but highly practical print for healthcare workers who want to preserve their badge while still showing off their hard-earned achievements.

As with almost all my designs, I allow commercial use for this model! Feel free to sell to any of your medical friends!

This model is available in a medical collection! See it and others like it here!

Update 8/21/2025:

I have moved the holes more towards the center and have added three different options: 1.2mm, 1.5mm, and 1.8mm holes, depending on your needs.
