hair bobble

thingiverse

So I was about to go out with my girlfriend when she noticed that her stock on hair bobbles came to an end. While she desperately was combing the drawers, I designed a "first working prototype™" within minutes which was printed until before we left. 3D-Printer saved the day again! Almost... the material (TPU) was too soft, print quality was poor, design was too thin. It didn't even survive till we left the building. Like a prototypic story of 3D-printing. That bothered me and I spent some time in refining the design and trying some materials. Now it works and lasts almost as long as these commercially available ones. Two designs were kind of usable; choose which fits your needs. I also upload a blocky-version which I haven't printed yet... but I think it looks kind of fancy so give it a try. It's a bit tricky to print. For some tipps, have a look at the print-settings-section.
