Giant Lowercase Typewriter Beads STL - Full a-z Alphabet, Two-Sided 3D Print Files

Overview

A full lowercase a-z typewriter alphabet for 3D printing, supplied as 26 ready-to-slice STL files. Every letter is flush on both faces, so a name reads correctly from either side

• no need to turn a bead around when it spins on the cord. The stringing hole runs side to side, so strung names read straight across a garland.

Key Features

• Two-sided flat design: the letter is flush on both faces and reads from either direction
• Clean, narrow typewriter letterform that stays legible at a distance
• Every letter shares the same envelope, so a strung name lines up evenly
• Prints in one piece with no supports
• the diamond-shaped bore bridges itself as it prints
• Prints flat and is quick to batch
• Scale down to 25mm for keychains or print at full size for statement garlands

Make With Them

• Name garlands for nurseries, bedrooms and parties
• Door signs, shelf letters and party backdrops
• Giant kandi and festival bracelets
• Birthday and baby shower banners
• Market and craft fair inventory

What's Included

26 STL files

• one lowercase letter bead for each letter a through z.

Dimensions

• Bead: 100mm x 100mm x 34mm (3.94in x 3.94in x 1.34in)
• Stringing hole: 18mm (0.71in)
• Print time: approximately 2 hours per bead

Scaling

• 25mm (25%) is the smallest safe size
• the walls are 1mm thick at that scale
• Scaling below 25mm drops the walls under 1mm and they get too thin to print well
• At 25mm the stringing hole is 4mm
• a great size for a giant name keychain

Two-Color Letters Because the letter is flush with both faces, use the color painting tool in Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer to paint it a second color. Paint reaches as deep as your top and bottom solid layers: 5 is tested opaque, and you may need more if you are painting in white. That is 10 color changes per bead

• 5 on the top face and 5 on the bottom.

Color Ideas

• Pastel letters on a cream cord for a soft nursery or bedroom name garland
• Black letters on white for a clean, graphic sign

• Walls: 2-4 (3 is a good default)

• Seam: scarf joint if your slicer has it, otherwise aligned
• Infill: 15% gyroid or grid pattern (10% for a long garland you want light)
• Supports: none
• Two-color: use the color painting tool in Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer
