After some testing with nurses and respiratory therapists in my hospital system with the print from @Suraky (thing:4249113), some of of the healthcare workers were having trouble with the strap being too short. I then stumbled upon a happy accident when my printer stopped in the middle of a print. When I pulled off the incomplete prints, I realized the thinner models can be cut to size easier, form to fit the person's head (the thicker layer model sticks out and can get caught in hair or on other PPE), and the staff say it's more way comfortable.
I added two pegs on each end to this remix and reduced the layer height from 2mm to 0.8mm. The end product is still durable enough that it doesn't break when pulled or twisted, but flexible enough to be comfortable.
Crank the speed up to 150%; I can fit 10 straps on the Ultimaker S5 and they print in just over 2 hours.
*This is my second attempt at printing ever btw. Please let me know if something doesn't make sense. I'm still learning.
