Jinpachi Ego bolo tie

thingiverse

Unhappy with the other models on Thingiverse, I made my own. Functions as you'd expect a bolo tie to. Includes a hole for a pin to keep the tie in place in case you use thinner rope for this. I found the friction from the leftover support material was enough to hold tightly while still allowing adjustments. For the cord, I used cotton rope dyed blue and drilled out spike studs with the bases cut off superglued to the ends of the rope. The blue Gundam marker was not ideal for painting this as it seeped in between gaps in the layers. Masking off the white sections and spray painting is a better option.
