Description

Overview:

BrassEnds are bullet-inspired drawstring beads that add rugged EDC style to your everyday carry, apparel, and projects. The .45 ACP Edition takes things up a notch—bigger, bolder, and ready for action.

This version includes two internal bore sizes for maximum flexibility:

  • One for standard hoodie drawstrings
  • One for 550 paracord

Whether you're weaving it into a keychain, adding it to your favorite hoodie, or incorporating it into a paracord project, this oversized round locks in your style without compromise.

Part of the RangeVault Series by Gizmo Gurus—crafted for the mission-ready, detail-focused maker.

Features:

  • Two bore size options:
    • 3.75 mm for snug-fit drawstrings
    • 5.8 mm for 550 paracord or looser fits
  • Based on real .45 ACP FMJ rounds for a bigger, more aggressive profile
  • Easy to thread and tight-fitting—stays secure without a knot
  • Optimized for multi-color prints (e.g., brass casing + gunmetal or copper tip)

Great for:

  • Hoodies
  • Keychains
  • Lanyards
  • Paracord gear
  • Tactical cosplay
  • Veteran-crafted gifts

Printing Tips:

  • Material: PLA+, PETG, or wood-fill
  • Silk gold, silk copper, and matte gray look excellent
  • Layer Height: 0.2 mm
  • No Supports Needed
  • Print Orientation: Tip-up for best detail on the projectile end
  • Print Time: Approximately 10–20 minutes per bead
  • Includes two STL files—one for each bore diameter.

Assembly / Use:

  • Thread directly onto your hoodie strings or paracord.
  • Snug press-fit keeps it locked in place.
  • Add to a paracord keychain, zipper pull, or EDC loop for a bold, functional upgrade.
