“Expression is everything, I wanted to express myself and create something I haven’t seen before” – Amir harden
The idea came first came to me when I started growing out my hair. I wanted to wear basketball beads as an expression of passion for the game. I thought it would be cool to wear basketball beads as I play. I started by painting wood beads and shortly after the idea to 3D print them came to mind. Thanks to my wife and the support of others, I have been able to create and distribute some of my creations.
These prints are mainly for fashion. They are printed out of PETG material. One of the stronger 3D printing material and heat resistant. So even though the hair picks are made of a strong material I mainly printed them for style. I have type 4C hair so the hair picks will not glide through my hair easily. The beads are light weight and durable. I am working on making more beads as well so stay tuned for updates.
