Happy New Years 2024 with this bobble year and stars hairband!  RecommendationsFilamentPETG filament is flexible enough for the bobble section to bend almost 90 degrees without snapping.  PLA+ has a bit more flexibility than PLA but not as must as PETG and is a good alternative material for this print.  PLA is not as flexible; however, it is strong enough to avoid snapping except under vigorous movement - it just won't bobble as much.Slicer SettingsBobble Top:Print orientation - must be flat and rotated to 45 degrees to fit on a 220mm print bed.Layer height - 0.2Wall line count - 2Top layers - 3Bottom layers - 3Infill density - 5%Infill pattern - lightningSupport - NoneBuild plate adhesion - NoneHair band:Print orientation - flat with opening for bobble insert facing upLayer height - 0.2Wall line count - 4Top layers - 3Bottom layers - 3Infill density - 5%Infill pattern - linesSupport - NoneBuild plate adhesion - NoneAssembly tips:The bobble section needs to be inserted into the hairband opening at the top of the hair band.  This is a snug, snap fit.  Sand the ball of the bobble section slightly if needed until it slides in with just a little force required.  The interface fit will depend on your 3d printer accuracy.  Tolerance used was 0.3mm.Add a dab of super-glue to the hairband/bobble section joint to secure it.  Hot glue may also work.
