fixed cheap glasses

Post by Sclass »

These ear supports always break on my Eye Buy Direct glasses. I guess the glasses are pretty much disposable at their $20 price. They seem to last about six months to a year.

I found this ear piece on Thingiverse. It fit well enough to use without remixing. The surface finish is a little 3 d printed but it'll function. My wife says it looks dorky. :lol:

I was able to put this bend in the part using a hairdryer. The downloaded part printed flat to the bed. I really need to get some new colors.

thank you for bumping up that thread. I started a new one recently, the search did not bring up this one!
