HeyhoHere I have various beads that you can use to make necklaces, bracelets or other decorations :)ScalabilityI used a 1mm thread. Theoretically, however, threads up to a thickness of 1.6 mm should also fit well. The larger the opening, the easier it is to put the pieces together. So just print one or two test beads and check the fit before producing mass :D If the holes are too small, you can easily scale the beads larger!Use Filament (TPU) instead of a cord!!! 100% 3D printing stuff!You can also use a piece of TPU instead of a cord. Simply put the pearls onto it, add the shown clasp at one side and burn both ends a little until they melt and form nice balls. You can use some water to speed up the cooling process of the filament.ClaspsTo round off the necklace campaign for my children I have constructed 2 more clasps.1 clasp with knotHere you simply thread the thread through the hole on one side and then tie two knots at each end of the thread. One knot is then pulled into the clasp and remains in place. The other can simply be pulled in from the top on the other side and then remains in place for as long as the necklace is worn. To release, simply pull out diagonally upwards.If you use TPU instead of a cord put the pearls onto the filament, add this clasp at one side and burn both ends a little until they melt and form nice balls. You can use some water to speed up the cooling process of the filament.2nd clasp with magnetHere you can insert a magnet (4 x 2 mm) into each side of the clasp and pull the thread through the respective holes. Then tie a knot at the ends of the thread and pull them back into the holder so that they lock in place. The necklace can then be worn simply and easily :)The magnetic version is not as stable as the knot version but is much safer and easier to put on. But of course it can also get lost quickly :)ScalingIf you use thicker threads, you can also scale the clasps. However, the dimensions of the magnets required for the magnetic fastener will then logically change.Just let us know if you have any problems! I may be able to construct one or two more dimensions!ColorsI printed several batches, each with a different color. The glow-in-the-dark ones went down particularly well with the children!Remix CultureThere are of course many more shapes that are interesting! So I look forward to your remixes! Here's one of mine: diamond studs that can be attached to the chain!For a visually better instruction you can also have a look at printables :)https://www.printables.com/model/636475-kids-necklace-bracelet-beads-pearls-diy-jewelry-10
