Ghost Pop Beads

These “Ghost Pop Beads” snap together to form spooky chains or rings as long as you want! Use for decoration or to accessorize your costume.

See here for video: https://youtu.be/sqHG2kSpsd8 

The pieces are designed to be printed in “Vase” or “Spiralized” mode. The file is optimized for printing with a 0.4mm nozzle. Printing with different nozzle sizes is still possible but will affect the tightness of fit.

Each piece uses approximately 0.4g of material, making this a great design to use up the scraps of filament you have lying around! A full 1kg roll could print approximately 2500 beads, enough to make a chain 50m (164ft) long!

To connect pieces together, simply pinch the bottom end of one piece to open it up. Insert the oval end of the second piece inside and release. The pieces remain connected but can be separated again if needed. Create long chains or rings by adding as many pieces as you want.

Each piece takes approximately 5 minutes to print. It is, however, much more efficient to print multiple pieces sequentially! Setting up spiralized models to print “one at a time” takes a bit of planning as the pieces must be spaced and sequenced properly so that the hot end or gantry does not collide with the finished prints as it moves on to the next print. 

Make the bottom open by setting “bottom layers” to zero. Good build plate adhesion is essential, so ensure that your machine is well calibrated.

Starburst Christmas Ornament

**ABOUT THE DESIGN**
This is a new variation on my Christmas Balls with Integrated Stems and diamond patterns.

**NOT TO BE SOLD**
**I'm sharing my files so that you can make them for yourselves or give them away as gifts. I hope you enjoy them. I do not authorize sale of my work by anyone. Please don't ask me.**

**RESIZING**
These should scale up well, but I'm not sure how much smaller you could print them using a consumer FDM printer. Using a resin printer, you could probably print them much smaller.

**PRINT TIME**
About 4.5 hours.

**PRINT SETTINGS**
The trickiest parts to print is the top of the stems. Using FDM, if you don't temp, speed, flow, and cooling right, the thin parts of the stem will melt as you print. Thinner walls help. If that's not enough, try increasing the layer height. I decreased the print temp from my usual 200 to 190 for this, decreased the flow from 115 to 105, and increased the outer wall speed from 20 to 30 mm/sec. That was enough to go from stem that was molten goo to one that printed perfectly.

*Thickness*

* Layer thickness: .15 mm
* Wall thickness: 0.4 – 0.8 mm.

I had the best results using Cura setting the default width to 0.4 mm with an alternate extra wall. 

*Infill*
This does not need any infill. JUST DON'T DO IT.

*Speed*
* Outer Wall: 30 mm/sec
* Inner Wall: 30 mm/sec
* Top/Bottom Speed: 30 mm/sec
* Travel Speed: 50 mm/sec

*Build Plate Adhesion*
I relied on the supports for build plate adhesion. 

*Supports*
You will probably need supports for both bed adhesion and the overhang on the first few layers. You shouldn't need supports for the loop at the top. Adding them would just increase the chances the supports broke and caused the print to fail. 

* Support Structure: Normal
* Support Placement: Touching Buildplate
* Support Overhang Angle: 49 Degrees

I added a support blocker 75 mm x 75 mm x 110 mm set 15 mm above the build plate so that the supports would only be added to the bottom of the ornament.
