Story
My mother is always afraid that bats are going to fly into her hair, so I designed this for her. A 15cm comb in the shape of a bat, with rows of broad and narrow teeth (or would those be fangs?). The center ring allows you to hang the comb upside-down, as bats do. What real bats don't do is fly into your hair, that's just a myth.

Printing recommendations
Printing with PETG is recommended for durability, but I also printed them successfully with PLA and haven't had a single tooth break on me yet.
The printing time is roughly 3 hours, depending on your settings.
I printed the walls very slowly to make the bottom wing curves as clean as possible.

Layer height 0.2
Line width 0.44 (nozzle 0.4)
Seam position at back (i.e. no seams in the teeth except on the first layer)
2 top surface skin layers 
Top/bottom pattern: zigzag at [90, 0] degrees
Iron only the top layer, concentric pattern, with 4% ironing flow.
Infill 12%, grid pattern

Print speed 20 mm/s
Infill speed 50
Wall speed 10
Outer wall speed 6
Travel speed 180
Retraction 7mm, 25 mm/s
Combing: all
Fan speed 30% for PETG, 100% for PLA, starting from 3rd layer

No supports needed
No brim (A brim would make it hard to separate the teeth)
