Morse Code Earring — Any Word, Reads Down

A Morse-code earring that hides a word in plain sight. Every letter is one horizontal row of dots (•) and dashes (—); the rows stack top-to-bottom on a thin central strand, so the message reads straight down the charm. Standard Morse timing (dash = 3× dot), a hairline rail bridges the symbols in each row, and a centred loop up top takes a jump ring.

Only you (and anyone who knows Morse) can read it — a quiet, personal gift.

• Prints FLAT, face up, in one piece — every feature is a round dot or a stadium-ended dash, so there are zero overhangs and no supports

• 1.6 mm plate, fat 3.4 mm dots so the code stays legible at earring scale

• Integral hang loop (Ø2.5 hole) for a jump ring

• Symmetric — print twice for a matched pair

Twelve ready-to-slice words are included:

• LOVE · DREAM · STAR · SOS · CODE · DOT · HELLO · MORSE · HESLO · CIFRE · EARRINGS · ENDEAVOUR

Want your own word? The .scad source is fully parametric — set word="..." (any A-Z / 0-9, uppercase, no spaces) and every size (dot diameter, dash ratio, row spacing, thickness, loop) is overridable. A part switch renders a single earring or a side-by-side pair.

Files:

• morse_<WORD>.stl — twelve pre-made words, ready to slice

• morse_earring.scad — parametric source; change word for any message

Print:

• Flat on the bed, no supports, 0.12–0.2 mm layers, 3 walls

• PLA or PETG; a brim helps the thin rails' small footprint

• Add a jump ring + ear hook (hang from the metal ring, not the ear wire)

• Symmetric, so print twice for a pair
