Neurodivergence Bow Tie

To get the color gradient effect a filament with multiple colors (I have used the “eSUN ePLA-Silk Mystic Copper Purple Green” filament) and a perimeter of more than the structure width has to be used on the most outer layer (this can be solved with a height modifier for the first or last layer and then setting the perimeter count to something like 100). The one in the first image is printed with the front side laying down on the print bed and having a PHY print bed for having an extra shininess and glitter.

It is recommended to combine it with an elastic band from trousers with buttonholes and a button. After cutting the band into the right length for your neck the button can be sewed into place on one end. The button should be on the inside then the excess won't dangle around. The holder part should fit into a (stretched) buttonhole and can be glued into place. For further strength it is recommended to add glue on every surface of both parts and the elastic band. The two prongs of the holder fit into the holes of the bow tie. When gluing all into place you have to take care, that the elastic band is even, so that the bow tie will look perfect on you.
