Giant "Kandi" / Pony Beads
Print Profile(1)
Description
My daughter wanted some giant "Kandi beads" for a project she was working on. I designed the shape of these to be pretty much exactly the same as the small ones just scaled up such that the diameter is 45mm (1¾"), the center hole is about 20mm. Unfortunately, this shape, perfectly while faithful to the original, it isn't an ideal shape for printing. Since they are made from a step file though the surface of them will be much smoother than STL ones. There are 3 versions:
-The standard bead printed as one part with standard supports
-One where its split down the middle and can be super-glued together using alignment pins (sorry, I end up overengineering everything :P). You can do two-tone beads with this model too.
-One with custom supports baked into the model
Print whichever you like, they all work, it just depends on how much time you want to invest to make sure there are no print artifacts from the overhangs. If you use this file for your own project, be sure to post it. I'm sure my daughter would get a kick out of seeing it!
