Printing Guidelines
-
Print solid for excellent strength. If you plan on putting these on hoodie drawstrings or other items that might go through the wash, I recommend ASA or ABS filament, but PLA will do for most uses.

For the endcaps, the larger opening should face the paracord end. Tie a simple knot and pull the knot into the opening. It may take a firm tug, but once the knot is tucked in the opening it should stay fastened. For the 'Flat Cowbell' endcap, there is less space for the knot, so I suggest simply melting the end of the paracord and pressing the end so it's slightly wider than the rest of the cord, then pulling that into the opening. If you want to be extra tidy in hiding the knot, you can fill the endcap opening with a 3D pen, or adhesive like E6000.

for the pictured bracelet I used a Poacher's Knot so it can slip open and closed
