I designed these hex nut shells because I wanted to create begleri that have good ergonomics and weight. The weight comes from the nuts, and the ergonomics from 3D printing. They are meant to be used 2 on each sides of the string. The design is inspired by the Aroundsquare Hydras.
There are two versions ready for download:
- M6: suitable for holding an M6 UNI5588 nut. External dimensions: Ø14x7 per bead. Weight: 2,84g.
- M8: suitable for holding an M8 UNI5588 nut. External dimensions: Ø16x8 per bead. Weight: 5,45g.
Both have 4mm inner hole, suitable for Paracord 550 or 275.
Printing Instructions
To create the item, you need to insert a pause in your slicer. Here’s a brief guide on how to do this:
- Set layer thickness to 0.2mm and infill to 100%.
- After processing the .stp file, go to the preview and identify the last layer that leaves the nut cavity completely open (it's important that this is the last layer; otherwise, you risk the extruder interfering with the nut).
- In Pusaslicer, right-click on the (+) symbol and insert the G-code for the pause (if you don't know how to do this, check this link and get my code).
- Save and start printing.
- During printing, when you reach the pause input, you need to place the nut into the cavity (make sure it goes all the way in; otherwise, you risk the extruder touching it) and then continue the print.
Now take a piece of Paracord and set everything up. If you need some advices, take a look at this tutorial by Aroundsquare.
