This is a combination of several parts from different sources.

Weather stripping from your favorite hardware store applied to the inside of the band for comfort.
Elastic wasteband I sourced from JoAnn fabrics. They only had 1.5", but it still works in the 1" strap adapters and holds it very tightly. I opted for the extra soft elastic band, it's very comfortable.
8.5x11 Fellow clear midweight binding covers. Use the PDF printed at full size on paper to use as a template for punching the holes with a single hole punch. The PDF modifies the original A4 sized template to fit correctly on 8.5x11
I've used PLA and ABS with success on both a UM3 and MTW Fusematic.
With a 0.8mm nozzle and 0.4mm layer height on the UM3 I can print an entire shield in 2 hours.
I printed a few extra strap adapters in case users pull too hard and break one.
