If you’ve read my pegboard making journey, you might know that this pegboard for fuse beads is larger and designed to hold beads in place. (Beads can be placed on the pegs like normal, but if they’re placed in between the pegs they stay in place during beading and fusing due to its tighter fit. No more masking tape or bead accidents for me.)

This is a digital download of a STEP file for 3D‑printing. If you or someone you know has a 3D printer, you’re welcome to download it and print as many as you’d like for personal use—whether for yourself, friends, family, or your classroom.

The pegboard is approximately 24.5cm x 20.5cm, including the connector tabs. Please check your printer bed size before purchasing the file.

Recommended print settings:

Material: PETG
Perimeters: 2
Seam position: Nearest
Infill: 15%

Please be aware that no further 3D‑printing support can be provided.Fortunately, 3D‑printing hobbyists are fantastic problem‑solvers :) The price reflects a fraction of the time and care put into prototyping and refinement, along with a small effort to help protect the work from being easily disseminated.

This pegboard was designed for people like me who:
✅Want a bigger, flat pegboard;
✅Are sick of beads moving before or during fusing;
✅Want to avoid using masking tape;
✅Don’t mind pressing beads in between the pegs;
✅Happy to peel the pegboard away from the fused artwork;
✅Generally make Perler art smaller than 80×48 or 96×40 beads;
✅If making larger artwork, are happy to fall back to your usual method;
✅Unlikely to whack it on its corner where it can be brittle.
