3D Printed Replacement Glasses Frame (Clear / Soft Rectangular)

Model Overview & Print Notes

Give your prescription lenses a second life with this 3D printable replacement frame. Designed for soft rectangular or slightly oval lenses, this model offers a sleek, modern look, especially when printed in clear or translucent filament as shown in the photos. It's a perfect DIY repair project that saves money and reduces waste. Hardware Requirements Screws: You will need 2x M2.5 x 10mm self-tapping screws (one for each hinge). The thread is designed to bite directly into the plastic, creating a strong and secure hinge mechanism without the need for threaded inserts or nuts. Printing Recommendations Material: PETG, ABS, or ASA are highly recommended for the necessary flexibility to snap in the lenses and for long-term durability. Clear PETG was used in the example for a translucent aesthetic. Infill: 20-30% (increase density near the hinges for structural integrity). Supports: Minimal supports may be needed under the hinge overhangs depending on your printer's bridging capabilities.
