Bông tai Amsterdam XXX

Concept & Inspiration

A few years ago, while walking through Amsterdam, I kept seeing the famous XXX symbol everywhere. On bridges, on buildings, on souvenirs… three simple crosses that somehow became inseparable from the city's identity.

I always liked how minimal and graphic this symbol is, so one day I wondered:

What if the XXX of Amsterdam became a pair of lightweight geometric earrings?

These earrings are my little tribute to this city that I appreciate so much.

The set includes four color combinations, but of course you can create your own using any filament you like.

Printing

• 0.4 mm nozzle

• 0.15–0.16 mm layer height

• Arachne perimeter generator enabled

Assembly

This model was designed to create a beautiful two-color effect even without an MMU or filament swaps.

1. Print the bar pieces first.

2. Print the XXX pieces separately. They are intentionally oriented upside down.

3. While the XXX pieces are still on the build plate (be careful not to place the glue next to them 😄), put three tiny drops of super glue into the recesses.

4. Insert the corresponding bar piece into the slots.

5. Once the glue has cured, gently remove the finished earrings from the plate.

The result is a surprisingly clean multi-color assembly with very little effort.

Enjoy, and maybe these little XXX earrings will remind you of your own memories of Amsterdam.
