Before we jump into this, please consider also the TPU. I could not print any of the TPU straps with the 0.6 profile. They are designed for the 0.4 profile IMHO.

I agree. I could print them with a .6 nozzle but they are not useable. Those are the only parts that HAVE to be printed with a .4mm in my opinion.
I’m keeping a 0.4mm in one of my printers just to do the straps and chest harness, although the tires print great on a 0.6
I have a 0.8 and am curious to see how the straps come out with it

Interesting - I brought the TMT to my 11 yo 5th grade class today. We are going on a 3D class trip where they use Tinkercad and then print what they designed. The straps are tough. I gave my failed class to the class and told them to try and break them.. I can’t, they sure couldn’t…
I printed 2 sets of TPU straps using 0.6mm nozzle with no issues–I’m happy to share my settings if needed. What issues were you having?
On an unrelated note, the only parts I had trouble with using 0.6mm nozzle werehedrest and bolt (threads would come out mangled or weak) and buckles–the latter were fully functional but surface quality wasn’t great

the straps are supposed to be 2 paths of .4 filament to create the structure of the strap
I had the same issue. I could break the parts with a light pinching. Spent money on 3 0.6 nozzels waster tons of petg and then sent pictures to make good about how i could break between my thumb and forefinger.
The straps came out too thick for me, just as @MakeGood_Noam says in his post. I haven’t had any trouble with the head rest or bolt with a .6 nozzle at a .3mm layer height.
I didn’t have any issue with thickness using Core One, 0.6 nozzle/ 0.32 layer height, but the end loops had stringing and did not look pretty on the ends; I was able to rip them with roughly the same amount of force as with ones printed with 0.4mm nozzle; the latter definitely looks better.
