Graduation candy Hats

As a heads up, there's a License agreement that comes with this Download, and by downloading the STL file, you're agreeing to its terms. Created in LightWave. My son just graduated from High School, so I made these graduation hats for his party. One of them holds custom M&Ms with his face on it from http://www.mymms.com/home.do - the hole in the middle is cupcake-sized. The other one holds custom cookies with his face on them too, courtesy of http://www.zazzle.com; cookie diameter is 2.75 inches. I used colored twine for the tassel, around 13 inches long, folded and cut it a few times to get the right length. I employed 20-gauge metal wire from my local hobby store's bracelet area - drilled a hole in the top only (don't go all the way through), tied a knot or two, stuffed it with filament by manually pushing until the hole was full, then used pliers to smooth it while still hot; you'll need to act quickly. Be careful not to let the hot nozzle touch the twine, as it will melt. To print them, flip so the top is down with supports - I did experience some warping issues but managed to find a fix; if you encounter problems, feel free to reach out.
