About this model

This zipper protector is the print-in-place piece I made for bags I actually travel with. It guards your zippers in busy airports and crowded streets, and it prints as one piece with no assembly.

The benefit is how fast and simple it is. It is a super fast and easy print, perfect for beginners, and it is practical the moment it comes off the plate.

The trade-off is wall separation. If you rush it at high speeds, the walls can merge, so I slow down a little for better accuracy and cleaner separation. A few extra minutes can make a big difference in quality.

Print settings

  • Infill: 15% to 75%
  • Infill type: Gyroid
  • Supports: none
  • Brim: none

XY Size Compensation: If your printer is not well-calibrated or is a bit older, go to your slicer, then Print Settings, then Advanced, then Slicing, then XY Size Compensation. Start with -0.1 or -0.15. If walls are still merging, try -0.2 or up to -0.25 max. This is my own range for this model, kept as-is. It is not a passthrough setting, since this model prints as one piece with no separate inner piece.

Tips

  • Slow down a little: If you rush it at high speeds, the walls can merge, so a slower print gives better accuracy and cleaner separation.
  • Start low with XY Size Compensation: Start with -0.1 or -0.15, and only go up to -0.25 max if walls are still merging.
