Description
A Morse-code earring that hides a word in plain sight. Every letter is one
horizontal row of dots (•) and dashes (—); the rows stack top-to-bottom on a
thin central strand, so the message reads straight down the charm. Standard
Morse timing (dash = 3× dot), a hairline rail bridges the symbols in each row,
and a centred loop up top takes a jump ring.
Only you (and anyone who knows Morse) can read it — a quiet, personal gift.
Prints FLAT, face up, in one piece — every feature is a round dot or a
stadium-ended dash, so there are zero overhangs and no supports
- 1.6 mm plate, fat 3.4 mm dots so the code stays legible at earring scale
- Integral hang loop (Ø2.5 hole) for a jump ring
- Symmetric — print twice for a matched pair
Twelve ready-to-slice words are included:
LOVE · DREAM · STAR · SOS · CODE · DOT · HELLO · MORSE · HESLO · CIFRE ·
EARRINGS · ENDEAVOUR
Want your own word? The .scadsource is fully parametric — set
word="..."(any A-Z / 0-9, uppercase, no spaces) and every size (dot
diameter, dash ratio, row spacing, thickness, loop) is overridable. A part
switch renders a single earring or a side-by-side pair.
Files:
morse_<WORD>.stl— twelve pre-made words, ready to slice
- morse_earring.scad— parametric source; change wordfor any message
Print:
Flat on the bed, no supports, 0.12–0.2 mm layers, 3 walls
- PLA or PETG; a brim helps the thin rails' small footprint
- Add a jump ring + ear hook (hang from the metal ring, not the ear wire)
- Symmetric, so print twice for a pair
