Another alternative to elastic straps
I made an adjustable strap from two pieces of 550 para-cord about 15" each. I used a double fisherman's loop (poacher's knot) at both ends and a double fisherman's bend in the middle. Don't forget to melt the ends of the 550 cord to keep it from fraying.

Ah, very nice. I was wondering about paracord solutions. Could you summarize what knots you're using? The slider knots look interesting.

Great info, thanks. Ive been meaning to learn some knots with paracord. This is a good excuse to do so. I just ordered some cord in a nice Prusa orange. Thanks!
