Inspired by this https://www.printables.com/model/46756-bow_tie-fighter
The original only had files for an MK3. I don't have one, so I decided to make my own, for use by any 3D printer.
I present to you my version, made from scratch (which is a big deal, I am NOT well-versed in 3D modeling).
There are two versions, solid and mesh. I have not tried printing the mesh version yet, so if you do, please upload a picture and tell me how it went. I don't imagine it would be an issue, but I'm curious. I spent a LOT of time making those holes line up properly.
I would recommend support for the bottom side, where the slot is, but you might be able to get away with no supports. I would recommend doing it regardless, because no one would see that area anyway. I printed at 50% infill, but that was likely overkill. Still, it's been rock solid, and it's a fairly small piece, so it might be worth the slightly extra filament.
If you want dual color like I did, insert 2 filament changes! I did it at layer 6 and 26, printing at 0.2 mm; your experience may differ, defer to your slicer on this one.
Anyway, there's a slot in the back where you can slip through a standard bow tie's width of fabric, or just use whatever you've got lying around (I cut up the bottom of an old t-shirt, it worked remarkably well). The slot is fairly narrow, so thinner fabric is better. Maybe at some point I'll deepen the slot.
I literally discovered the original piece yesterday (May 3), and spent all day perfecting my version to have it ready to wear today (May the 4th). It wasn't rushed, but I did want to get this published before the day was out. I'm sorry I didn't get it out sooner.
I hope you like it!
