Candy Gloss Small Bow Pendant

A small bow charm with a candy-like gloss, this is the first 3D charm I designed. This file only includes the pendant part, and you can choose your favorite for the keychain part. Thank you for liking my work!

The glossiness of the model comes from the multiple facets on its surface, just like a diamond's facets, giving it a stronger light refraction rate. Therefore, even when printed with matte filament, it will have a unique refractive gloss due to these multiple facets. This is the biggest feature of my model.

Thank you all for your love for my work. This is my first 3D designed model, and there were many shortcomings in the first version's configuration, especially my lack of knowledge regarding 3D printing slicer software.

Now, based on my experience, I have released the latest print profile. In this print profile, layer lines are less noticeable, and the facets on the surface have stronger refraction. The rough texture of the top and bottom surfaces has been improved. I manually adjusted the seam position to the edge, making the overall appearance more aesthetically pleasing.

Note: The rough texture of the bottom surface has been improved, but the supports are more difficult to remove. It is best to have double-edged cutters, which can be used to separate them by leveraging the gap between the support and the bottom surface. The overhang angle of the bottom surface is quite large; this is already the best possible improvement.

I made adjustments to the filament settings, which is the reason for the increased printing time (1h22min). If you change the filament color or type after downloading my print profile, you may need to manually modify it in the filament editing section. My modified parameters are as follows:

Cooling mode - Max fan speed threshold - Layer time - 12 seconds

Minimum print speed - 10mm/s

Cooling overhang threshold - 0%

Auxiliary part cooling fan - Fan speed - 100%

Parameter override - Retraction - Length - 0.4mm

If you do not manually modify the filament settings, the printing time will be between 50-60 minutes, and the surface may have slight, unnoticeable layer accumulation due to insufficient cooling. However, the effect is still acceptable, and it is much more refined compared to the first version.

Additionally, I will not delete the first version's print profile because it is the fastest version, only taking 30 minutes, but it does have more flaws, especially on the bottom surface.

Please choose the print profile and parameters according to your needs. Thank you again for your support

2025/12/09 At everyone's request, I designed a heart-shaped keychain, which has been uploaded to the MakerWorld platform. You can find it on my homepage. The designed keychain has a twisted effect to increase glossiness, making the overall feel stronger. The image uses the large-sized keychain
