Beskrivelse

Here's the full description with all em dashes removed: Clip-A-Cap is a Swiss Army knife for your hat: 7 snap-on tools, one base clip, zero hands needed. Clip-A-Cap is a modular mounting platform that transforms almost any headwear (baseball caps, straw hats, thick winter beanies, and more) into a versatile, hands-free tool station. Built on a specialized "Claw & Ball" friction-fit system , the possibilities for customization are virtually endless. Whether you're working, reading, or exploring, Clip-A-Cap keeps everything within reach and your hands completely free. This upload combines the full system in one place: the Base Hat Clip and all seven current attachments. 🧢 How the System Works - Print the Base Hat Clip first. It's the foundation of the entire system and clips onto the brim of your hat. - The tip of the base clip features a technical-grade claw that snaps onto any attachment's 9.7mm ball joint . - Print the Base Clip in PETG and every attachment in TPU 95A . Mixing materials this way prevents the wear that happens when two identical plastics rub together, so the joint stays tight over time. - At the 9.7mm spec, attachments snap in easily but hold firmly at whatever angle you set them. 1 Base Hat Clip, The Foundation The essential clip required to host every attachment in the system. Print Settings - Filament: PETG - Resolution: 0.2mm - Infill: 30% (Gyroid recommended) - Supports: Yes (for mounting points) - Rafts: No More printing instructions and individual file: 2 Golf Tee Holder Keep up to four tees indexed and ready on your hat brim for quick access on every hole. Four precision slots hold standard wooden or plastic tees securely, even mid-swing. STEP file included to adjust the friction-ribs for non-standard tee diameters. Print Settings - Filament: TPU 95A - Walls: 3 - Resolution: 0.2mm | Infill: 30% | Supports: No More printing instructions and individual file: 3 Image Faceplate A blank canvas for logos or QR codes to link to your portfolio or socials on the move. Two-part system: - Image Plate (PETG) : the rigid canvas for designs, logos, QR codes - Plate Holder (TPU 95A) : the flexible frame that grips the plate and snaps onto the base clip Fully resizable in your slicer/CAD software. STEP files included for both parts. For QR codes, use high-contrast colors (black on white). Print Settings - Filament: TPU 95A (holder) / PETG (plate) - Walls: 3 | Resolution: 0.2mm (0.1 to 0.12mm for fine text/QR) | Infill: 20 to 30% | Supports: No More printing instructions and individual file: 4 Magnetic Dock A print-in-place magnetic staging area for screws, bits, and nails, so there's no more hardware in your teeth! Fully encapsulates a stack of three magnets for a clean finish with no glue required. Required hardware: 3x neodymium magnets, 20mm diameter x 2mm thick Assembly, the "Pause-and-Drop" method (important!): - Program a Pause at Height (or Color Change) in your slicer just before the "roof" of the magnet cavity begins. - Drop the three magnets into the cavity during the pause, then resume the print to seal them in forever. - Pro tip: if your print head is magnetic, use a dab of glue stick or painter's tape to keep magnets seated until covered. Print Settings - Filament: TPU 95A - Walls: 3 | Resolution: 0.2mm | Infill: 30% | Supports: No More printing instructions and individual file: 5 Laser Pointer Mount A hands-free pointing tool for pros and teachers, or a visual feedback device for neck rehab exercises (cervical proprioception/tracking). Designed around a common "pen-style" laser. STEP file included to modify diameter for your own device. Reference laser used: Petco brass laser pointer (cat toy style) Print Settings - Filament: TPU 95A - Walls: 3 | Resolution: 0.2mm | Infill: 30% | Supports: No More printing instructions and individual file: 6 Flashlight Mount Turn your small torch into a powerful, adjustable headlamp, perfect for hands-free work in dark spaces (mechanics, plumbers, DIYers, camping, roadside repairs). STEP file included to adjust ring diameter for your flashlight. Print Settings - Filament: TPU 95A - Resolution: 0.2mm | Infill: 30% | Supports: No More printing instructions and individual file: 7 Magnifying Glass Mount Hands-free magnification for jewelry, electronics, model painting, or reading fine print, also useful as a low-vision assistive aid. Designed around a common pocket lens (1.65" double convex). STEP file included to adjust for your own lens. Print Settings - Filament: TPU 95A - Walls: 3 | Resolution: 0.2mm | Infill: 30% | Supports: No More printing instructions and individual file: 8 Mirror Mount Gain situational awareness with a rearview mirror that stays in your peripheral vision, great for walkers, hikers, and runners on multi-use paths.
