Now you can have a unique conversation starter with your own one-of-a-kind 3D printed striped tie.To create a striped tie effect change filament frequently during printing. It is recommended to have a plan and print each section two or three at a time following the plan, in order to avoid a huge waste should anything fail. This is a big job if printed all at once. Once the parts are all printed (including 2 tie clips), string them together with 1mm elastic cord. String the clips through to the ends of the cord through the outside holes, then criss-cross tie the ends of the cord through the middle of the clips to make a slip hold.Find out more about this project here:

If you need a tie longer or shorter than this one let me know and I'll make a modification as needed.
