Millinery Hat Block - Top Hat

thingiverse

A millinery hat block is essential for creating custom-shaped hats by hand. To use it, a steamed velour hat form is placed over the block and left to dry, adopting its shape. The 'mad hatter flare' feature ensures that the hat retains its shape upon drying, making removal difficult without damage. For easy removal, a 6-piece puzzle block allows the central portion to be removed, enabling the remaining pieces to collapse inwards.
