Begleri Beads

I saw a video of someone flipping some Begleri around, so I decided to try and make some. Here are a few designs that I came up with. They were designed to work with #95 paracord, but I'm sure you can resize them for a different grade paracord. The #95 is what I had on hand, so that's what I used.

The Begleri need to be a little heavy, so make sure you print at 100% infill. This will 1) give it the weight it needs and 2) keep them from shattering when you inevitably drop them on your tile floors!

There are a lot of good videos on YouTube that you can get tips and learn tricks from. Would start there if you are interested. Enjoy!

Update: I've tested this print with the following paracord sizes and they all work well:

• 95 (really too small for adult, might be okay for child)
• 275 (works well)
• 325 (feels the best to me, but I have large hands)

Notes:

Print with rafts if you think you will have a bead adhesion problem. They are small and don't have a large base to hold them down.

Post-Printing

After printing, you want to add the paracord. The length of the cord should be long enough that you hang it from your middle finger and both beads are below your palm. Should be arond 13cm between beads. Hope this makes sense, if not, there is always Google.
