Lucky Penny Necklace Gift - Easy Pause-to-Embed

Turn 1 cent into a Million-Dollar gift! (ok maybe not, but it looks cool)

Looking for a unique gift, a way to commemorate a special year (birth year, anniversary, graduation), or just a way to carry some good luck around? This Lucky Penny Pendant is quick print at under a gram of filament that turns pocket change into a conversation piece.

This is a "Pause-to-Embed" technique.

- Slice & Print: The print profile includes a pre-set pause command right before the top closure layers start. - Insert: When the printer pauses, place your coin into the cavity and make sure it's flat! - Resume: Hit resume and the printer will seal the penny inside. (takes diagonal cutters to remove) - Add a chain: - Necklace: https://amzn.to/4rujspz - Bracelet: https://amzn.to/48ahUtl - Anklet: https://amzn.to/48eopv8 - Keychain: see MakerWorld link below Print Settings

- Material: PETG or PLA - Leave all settings! *AI Disclaimer: A real person used real design software to design, print, test, and revise the model without AI. Real pictures of the print with embedded coins were used and are attached. AI helped put the prints on people for the pictures. The people are not real.

Adjustments

In my measuring, coins have various levels of wear. If you have a brand new coin and/or want a looser fit that lets the coin spin, try increasing the x/y by ~2%. Likewise, if it's a well worn coin, decrease x/y by ~1%. Z should not require adjustments in either case.

Happy Printing! If you make one, please upload a photo!
