Moana Necklace Remixed

thingiverse

UPDATE 7/27/2018 - I've upgraded the necklace with additional magnets at the base, ensuring the locket remains securely closed. The holes have been enlarged to accommodate 3mm diameter x 1mm thick circular magnets. I highly recommend using crazy/super glue to secure the magnets in place. You can view a video showcasing the new design at https://youtu.be/2DTSGB1OtQQ. Initially, I favored the larger Heart of Tefiti with an alignment peg and this specific Moana necklace design. To combine my preferred heart with this style, I redesigned the necklace. However, the holes for the magnets are now slightly larger than before, so you may need to drill them out using a suitable drill bit size for your magnets. It's also advisable to secure them in place with glue. The loop for the necklace strand/rope/loop has transformed into an oblong shape instead of being perfectly circular; I don't think this will be a significant issue. To print each part effectively, I suggest orienting the big side downwards and utilizing supports. Hopefully, your support settings are finely tuned. A layer height of 0.1mm or less is recommended. You can view a video of the necklace at https://youtu.be/HJx8JDpQ61g. I'm concerned that the magnets aren't strong enough to reliably keep the clamshell closed. Therefore, I might modify it in the future by adding more magnets on the bottom and possibly incorporating a hinge on top.
