The buckle is best printed “nose-down” so the arms are vertical, as shown in the picture below. There's not a lot of build plate contact, but it's small enough that it seems to work fine when printed on a textured plate. This orientation provides the best combination of strength and comfort. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfigure class=\"image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000000501544\/design\/2024-06-26_3339e435abd26.png\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by Aptimex on MakerWorld (license: BY-SA).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67367609762096,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_3bdcc608-ad7f-4e4f-a098-003e3b506afe.png?v=1784015925","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/parametric-watch-strap-and-hardware","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
