Maker's Hoodie Bead (with embedded magnets)

By adding a “pause print” at the level before the internal cavity is covered, you can embed magnets into this print, (as can be seen in various other designs). Then, when they slide on to the laces of a hoodie, or any string/rope/lace that needs binding, they can magnetically bind to each other, and keep the material out of the way by connecting them. The Square and Rounded bead designs are intended for disc magnets that are 6mm wide x 2mm deep. The triangular beads are meant to have 10mm x 2mm disc magnets embedded inside, and therefore have a greater potential for a higher magnetic force. This design in intended to be simplistic, functional and not ugly. I recommend using the “smaller hole” beads for most hoodie laces as they are an adequet fit for most laces. Some material may need the larger hole.
