Butterfly Sweatshirt Cord Bead / Decoration

I was thinking about something to make for the Beads contest and had never really considered making or wearing sweatshirt string accessories before, but it seemed like fun. When I thought about designs I've done in the past, I thought about the butterfly image I'd generated on Craiyon and used in Hueforge to make a fun print. I thought this would be fun to work with so I used Tinkercad to design a center and attached that to the butterfly wings to make a fun bead! I also used another butterfly wing basic design to go along with it. And if you have your own butterfly wings you want to use, I have provided just the center bead part that you can combine with your wings in the slicer or favorite CAD program. 

I made two sizes. One is meant for a single string and the other larger one is meant to thread both strings through. I can make other sizes upon request. 

Small - 4.8mm hole

Large - 6.5mm hole

Both the Hueforge version and regular version are done with color changes between layers so you can use any printer to make them. 

You can use what colors you want but for the Hueforge, I'll go based on my colors I used.

For the Hueforge one, you need: 

• .08 layers with .2 initial layer
• Ironing all top layers
• Color changes: start with Black
  • change to Blue at 1.24mm
  • change to lighter blue at 1.56mm
  • change to white at 1.88mm
  • change to last color at 2.28mm

For the basic versions you can us regular .2mm layer settings and ironing all top layers. 

Change the colors based on the layers but it should be changes at 1.2mm and then change for the bead at 2.2mm

For putting two strings through a large bead, I recommend putting one string through first, then kind of pull it out of the way and thread the second one through.
