Description
After 16 iterations, and inspired by a Bruce Sterling story (Kiosk), I've designed and printed a working hair clip.
Length: 8.4cm
Height: 2.2cm
Depth: 1.2cm
Weight: 7g
Printed in ABS, and utterly dependent on its mechanical properties, it features a working ABS hinge, three kinds of springs, and a snap fastener.
This version is plain - the Sketchup file is included for those who want to go on and adorn their hair clips. Failing that, you can use the gently curved outer surface as a base for gluing on your own additions.
Versions:
hairclip-mk15 = This version has four embossed stars on the outer bar (as seen in blue in the photograph).
hairclip-mk16-final = The flat backed version, easier to modify on your own.
