I really like the design of the original “AirTag with Paracord Loop”, but the holes for the paracord are just to small for mine.

So I almost rebuilt the original design and increased the diameter for the paracord to 4mm.

Materials

• Filament - For most use cases I would recommend PETG.
• Paracord - I used this one from Amazon but any other paracord with 4mm diameter will do the job just fine. Cut off a 15cm to 20cm piece and secure the ends.
• Glue - To secure the paracord in place, use any type of CA glue (Cyanacrylat)

How to print?

• 0.16mm - Layer Height
• 3 - Walls
• 3 - Top/Bottom Layers
• 20% - Infill

Make sure to pause the print at around 5mm for inserting the paracord. After you dropped in some drops of CA glue in the middle and back of the paracord shaft, firmly press in the paracord. Now you can resume the print as normal.

Some Tips

Applying the CA glue

Beware when applying the glue. If you add to much glue it can drip on your print bed.

If you are unsure just put some paper or tape on the bed in front of the model.

Also, give the glue 1 or 2 minutes to dry a little bit out. This makes sure the paracord doesn‘t get pulled out by the hotend.

Tolerances

At 100% model scale it should be a snug fit. If the tolerances are to tight, just scale the model to 101%.
