DIY 3D Steemit Tie necklace with jointed sections +tutorial (Fusion)

18 June was Father's day and my husband went that day to a construction shop. After paying, the cashier handed him an ad flyer. I thought it was a nice idea to make a Steemit 3D tie. It is not just an ordinary 3D tie, but a 3D tie with jointed sections!

I added diamonds for the lower section. I wanted to add diamonds for the whole tie, but it took a lot of time to attach them.
image
At the back I made 2 half circles so a chain necklace can go through the holes.
image
Below the tutorial:

Go to Sketch and choose Line. Draw lines for the half of the tie. Make another line vertical, click the line and click X. Now the line is broken. This line we use for mirroring the left side of the tie.
image
Now we make lines for the sections.
image
Here we make the same lines below with small space because the sections need to be able to move.
image
Here you see all the lines prepared.
image
We are going to extrude the tie. Click Create and choose Extrude. This is extruded 6mm. The thickness of the tie.
image
Now we split the tie/body into 5 bodies. We click Modify and choose Split Body. As Body to split we click on the tie. Splitting tool will be the lines we were drawing. We do first the upper lines. Do this with all the sections.
image
For the logo, we go to Insert, Select Svg, select the steemit logo. We place it on the upper section.
image
We will extrude the 3 S. Don't forget to use - at Distance and Operation: Cut.
image
image
Now we will split the bodies again and use the lower lines as splitting tool.
image
Move the bodies so we can remove the leftovers we don't need.
image
image
image
Go to Sketch and choose Offset. We want to make a sort of frame. I chose -4mm because I want the frame inside the sections.
image
Go to Create and choose Extrude. We want fo extrude the inner parts. Now we make small holes for the sections to join. Here the holes are 3mm diameter and 1mm deep.
image
The other sides we make small cilinders, they need to be smaller then the holes to fit.
image
The sides with the holes and cilinders need to have round edges in order to be able to move them up and down. Go to Modify and choose Fillet. Radius: 2mm.
image
image
I also added at the back of the first section 2 half circles. After that I smoothen all edges of the sections with 0.5mm using Fillet at Modify.

When making the pictures, my kids said: That's Mr.Mama :-D.

It took me a few days to think how I am going to make jointed sections for this tie. But I am quite happy with the result. :-).

Sort:  

Too much work for me, i just go to the 99cent store buy a tie there and cut some line to make it look like steem line, im done.

@dang007 that's indeed the easiest way :-D

Like this tie! Maybe I should buy one for coming to work! Regards from Spain!

Happy you like it. Wondering how your colleagues would respond :-). Regards from Holland!

I follow you now. Have a nice day!

Why you don't share 3D moder for steemit comunity? People could make something similar on their 3D printer.

That's very cool and interesting, good luck!

Def! I dig your page, just followed you! looking forward to more posts.

Will follow you too!

Great work!!! I so likes this decoration!

impressed your wit and skills
Definitely 100% upvote! Follow you...

Thank you very much. Follow you too :-)

Wow that looks really badass, you are really creative!

Great tutorial. well done!

Very fucking impressive! I like that you chose this material

Hahaha Thanks! This is the only material you can use for 3D printing. :-)

Great post!!!

Nice moustache haha

That's awesome! Technology is taking us places we never thought possible 20 years ago!

Thanks @cryptomania1. It is indeed amazing what technology can do! I was never into computers, and now I am suddenly interested in 3D.
