HairSnaps, The Modular Hairband!

HairSnaps!

HairSnaps is a modular hairband with different attachments, allowing you to customize your band to your own style!

There are a couple of different ways to customize your hairband:

Ready-made snaps:

I've made a couple of different snaps for you to download, and I plan on adding more! At the moment, there is:

• Flower
• Butterfly
• Cat ears
• Ribbon
• Heart
• Dog ears (Added 03/09/2023)

Blank snaps:

These are great if you want to glue something on yourself! I've added two sized, the small one is great if you want to glue on another model you find here on Printables! Why not a Benchy? The larger one is perfect if you want to combine the snap with other forms of crafting materials. Maybe paint it? Glue on beads? You can do whatever you want!

How to print the Hairband:

The hairband prints without any support. I used PLA, but PETG and ABS would probably be fine as well. Just make sure your bed adhesion is good, since the footprint is pretty small. If unsure, use a brim!

I used the variable layer height function in Prusaslicer to get less layer steps, this adds a bit of print time but results in a way better looking print! The print file for the MK4 that I've added uses the variable layer height.

How to print the Snaps:

Most of the add-ons are printed in 2 or more parts to be able to use different colors. They snap together with small alignment pins. Just drop a tiny bit of glue and snap them together!

Make sure to use enough walls so that the hexagon pin isn't too fragile!

If you end up printing a HairSnap then please post a make and let me see what you've come up with! If you model your own snaps please share it as a remix!

Thank you and have fun printing!
