I designed this as a challenge for myself to see how fast I could make a simple model, as most of my work is at least somewhat complex and takes a decent amount of time. I was displeased with my time (3 mins 51 secs), as I spent a majority of that time confused where the "avoid body" toggle was within the loft tool in fusion 360 (for the centre hole as its flared). After about a minute I realised I hadn't yet made the body I wanted to avoid! I think 1.5 mins was easily on the table.
🤦♂️
I ticked no for rafts on this thing, however I always print with quite a wide brim, due to the lack of auto bed levelling and, lets face it, the cheapness of my printer, to avoid any adhesion issues.
The absurd infill % used is solely so that the tassle weighs more, so that it can actually function as a tassle and weigh down the cord. 100% infill only added 2 ish grams (and 5 mins print time) vs 15%, but I'll take what I can get.
