Model Overview & Print Notes
A fashionable hair-claw clip designed with a cute spiral hinge mechanism, allowing it to be fully functional right off the build plate and endure repeated flexing. Four different versions of the spring mechanism are included so that you can choose how firm of a spring you'd like (all of which are support-free). If printing in PLA, I'd recommend starting with the “soft spring" version, and if in PETG (or other more flexible materials) the “heavy spring” version. As designed, the clip is 6.5 cm long, but should support scaling (either uniformly or length-wise) as well. The default print profiles provided here include an option to print both with and without a brim. I'd recommend starting with a brim to help ensure it doesn't get knocked over during the print, but I also had many successful prints without the brim.
