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 top end of one piece so that the opening becomes oval-shaped. 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.
