Simple Bracelet

thingiverse

So I asked my mother to bring me her broken wooden bracelet, which she gladly did after she told me to fix it back together. Not only was I able to use hot glue to stick the pieces in place, but I also decided to make an extra copy out of PLA and give it a shiny new coat of gold paint! It's a design that turned out to be pretty straightforward for someone with a little bit of experience in using computer-aided design software like Fusion 360.\n\nI followed some clear steps to get the print looking just right. Here are the specifics:\nI started by designing the whole thing on Fusion 360, making sure to get all of the measurements and details just so. Next up, I used Simplify3D to slice the design into layers that would print out nice and evenly. With a perfectly calibrated MakerBot Replicator2, I fed it some good quality PushPlastic filament that had been attached with a little bit of Elmer's Craft Bond glue stick onto a glass build plate - that was all necessary to get those perfect results. To top it all off, I chose these settings: 20% infill, 0.2 layer height, four shells to print out with a consistent feedrate of 40 and a higher travel feed rate at 55 for optimal support.\nTemperature had to be precisely set at 220 degrees Celsius to get everything done correctly - easy as can be once I'd checked off the necessary steps in the settings section!
