I wouldn’t mind the 70s’ future
Looks a lot nicer than my duct tape belt, so that’s a plus I guess.

Prolly only works if you’re a skinny dude who doesn’t really need the mechanical strength of a real belt.
Very cool look. I want one as a bandolier.

Then you have cheap plastic belt that likely will only contribute to the plastic waste problem. This would likely be neat if used for cosplay reasons but as a practical thing i’ll stick to regular belts.

Would like to see a strength test.
Yep, and it’s not like real belts are particularly difficult to make…
(see every summer camp leatherworking class that I’ve ever attended…)

I haven’t watched the video yet but I’ll take a wild guess and say you 3D-print it.

There’s more than a few belt models over at Thingiverse, not to mention various link patterns that could be extended to a belt if you add some sort of buckle or latch in CAD.
True. That belt isn’t doing anything for that fella other than making others aware he has access to a 3D printer. It certainly ain’t holding up his pants.

Really? For holding up pants? or holding something else? First, you have to make a model in CAD and use in the 3D printing machine.
You can also print a 3D printing machine in 3D printing machine by 3D printing machine model.
