Android Charm for Ara the Star Engineer Barrette

prusaprinters

A friend's daughter loves the Ara the Star Engineer children's book, and really wanted an Android barrette just like Ara's. They couldn't find one for purchase anywhere, so I quickly modeled and printed this charm. They used a bit of E6000 glue to attach it to a gold barrette clip from a craft store, and the result is one very happy little girl.Print InstructionsIt's a very easy print. I recommend a shiny silk filament in lime/bright green for the body, and white for the eyes (glow-in-the dark is even more fun). The body and eyes are separate prints that snap together, but you can add a little glue if you want to ensure they don't come apart.I suggest the highest detail your printer supports. The charms in the picture are at .12mm layer height on an Ender-3, but I did another round on my MK3S at .05mm (stock ULTRADETAIL settings; sorry, no pics 🙁) and they looked even better 😁. They're very small and print quickly, so you don't really notice the extra time needed for maxing out the detail.
