Bowie Bowtie

thingiverse

Bow tie printed easily without support, thanks to its simple 3D printing design. The bow tie comes with a handy clip that lets you add an elastic band in seconds. This realistic bowtie looks stunning even up close, with subtle fold lines that give it a convincingly genuine appearance. I created this design for a friend's wedding and people couldn't tell it was printed until I told them. Would love to hear about your experiences with this item! Feel free to play around with it and come up with creative ideas like custom cutout patterns. Printed my bow tie with a layer height of 0.125mm, which worked out great - the result is a soft, satin finish from a distance. I also tried out a 10% fill ratio for this design, which made it both light and robust enough for everyday use. The way to wear the bowtie depends on you! I chose to attach it with glue and an elastic band to my friend's tie, but feel free to get creative.
