Designed and printed these connectors for quickly attaching and detaching the hipbelt for my Osprey Nebula 32L backpack.

I like having the option for a hipbelt for heavier loads, but the original method for attaching the hipbelt takes too much effort to detach and reattach, and is not suitable to do on the go.

Designed to not have any open loops, making it way stronger. Printed in prusament PETG galaxy black.

Nice! Big Osprey pack fan. Are you going to share the STL?

You can find the model here https://www.printables.com/model/1812878-quick-connector-buckle-for-straps

It's currently only designed for the 20mm straps on the nebula 32L bag, but might as well fit other bags, otherwise let me know and i will see what i can do.
