About this generator

One bead per letter. Thread them in order and you have a name bracelet, a key cord or a garland.

How to use

  1. Type the word.
  2. Pick cube or round and set the bead and hole size.
  3. Add some plain beads if you like.
  4. Download the 3MF for two colors, or the STL.

Printing tips

  • Print as laid out: holes sideways. No supports; the top of each hole is pointed so it does not sag.
  • Small beads lift easily: a brim, or printing them close together with a skirt, helps.
  • Beads are a choking hazard. Do not give loose beads or bead chains to children under three.

Frequently asked questions

Which cord fits?

Set Hole to the cord thickness plus about 1 mm. Elastic cord of 1 to 2 mm works with a 3 mm hole.

Can I get the same letter several times?

Yes. Every letter you type becomes a bead, so type the word as it is, or generate again for a second set.
