Mermaid Pendant/Keychain

cults3d

This is a mermaid pendant I made on my single extruder FF AD3. Great for party favors, kids or that person who just loves all things mermaid and/or mythological. Have fun with your special effects filaments! Print the background in a great, dark solid color and print the mermaid in glow-in-the-dark. To keep it easy to print, I made the hole in the top from front to back instead of attaching a ring to the top for the cord, which would have kept it from laying flat. Therefore I've also included a printable jump ring, so all you need is the cord, string or chain you want it to hang from. The jump ring does have an angled split in it, but sometimes my machine doesn't quite make the separation, but my side cutters (that I use to trim my filament when I load it) will do the trick to open it without stretching it. If you print the jump ring with the pendant it will come out the color of the background. If you want it to be the color of the unicorn, just print the pendant alone and then print the jumpring separately. If you're thinking of making a keychain, I would double all dimensions and increase the infill to keep it strong. Vegan leather cords like the one in my photo are available at Amazon or any local craft store.
