Wearable Cat Ears Hair Band - rigid and flexible options

thingiverse

Update 5/20/2018: Version 4 of CatEar_HairBand04.STL now features little ribs on the inner curve to help keep the hairband securely in place. My daughter asked for a "cat ears" hair band, so I used one of her old hair bands as a model and created two versions (rigid and flexible) with her. She and her friends are enjoying wearing them. This design even allows dogs to go undercover and explore the secret world of cats - as seen in the 2nd picture. Thanks to barb_3dprintny for sharing the picture, and be sure to check out her Armadillo (Nylon-like) print of this design. Printing Instructions: Easy 1. Print with no raft and no support. 2. Use 20% or more infill, even more if you want greater durability. 3. Scale as needed for your head size. The model "CatEar_HairBand02.STL" is currently set up to fit an average 7-12 year old child, while the flexible model "CatEar_HairBand03.STL" will fit all sizes (even my big fat adult head) comfortably. Optional: 1. Change print colors in the middle of the print to customize the ear color, then change back to the base color before the print is completed. 2. Or color in the ears with sharpie or paint. 3. Or cut out stickers for custom ear color. *The bands in the picture are using option 1 - I changed colors mid-print.
