DIY Eye Bracelet – Instructions:

If this is your first 3D project and you need additional help, I did a post on setting up your 3D Printer and making your first project.

  1. In Silhouette Studio, create your eye design using the line and circle tools (see below)
  2. Thicken the lines, trace it, then save
  3. In Silhouette 3D Software, open your eye design
  4. A pop-up will appear: Import As
  5. Select Extrusion – then your design will appear in 3D, then if necessary, adjust the height (or other dimensions)
  6. Select the 3D Print Tab on the right
  7. Select the Quality (I used the Standard option)
  8. Press Print. The machine will heat up and print – you will see the countdown of time as well
  9. Once your 3D eye design is printed, let it cool then remove the platform from the printer
  10. Use the spatula to gently remove your design and any extra filament
  11. Load the platform back into the printer
  12. In Silhouette Studio, create your bracelet design using the circle and eraser tools
  13. Open your bracelet design in the 3D Software and send to 3D print (just like the steps above)
  14. Open your jump rings with pliers – I used 2 sets of pliers (one in each hand) to twist (one side toward you, the other side away from you) the jump rings so that the ends opened forward and backward
  15. Use the jump rings  to connect your 3D eye to your bracelet. I used 2 on each end
  16. Close the jump rings with pliers
