Large Alphabet and Shape Toy Lacing Beads

thingiverse

These large letter and shape beads are a great toy for kids and are good at helping them learn hand-eye coordination. Just pair them up with a shoelace or sweatshirt string or paracord. Since there is so many (and about half have two versions) I've uploaded a variety of them, but the full sets which can be edited and downloaded can be found on Tinkercad: Alphabet: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/9htM8JrZeEj Shapes: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/0qgd2nl8H5j If people don't have a tinkercad account but would like me to upload a certain set of letters that fit within a certain bed size, please let me know and I'll be happy to do so :) As I mentioned, there is a full alphabet set but some have duplicates and that is because some just have holes through them while others have a tube/hole through them. Those ones aren't as pretty but are easier to thread a string through. Many can be printed without any support but some, as you'll see when you slice them, will need it. I recommend using when necessary but only doing support from the base. You don't need support inside the hole and it will just get in the way. I also have a tutorial that covers designing these on Instructables: https://www.instructables.com/id/Large-Toy-Beads/
