Bar Hairclip by Bioluminescence
Bar Hairclip - Stars and Plain by Bioluminescence
Check out this super clever printed bar hair clip from Bioluminescence. It makes excellent use of the plastic’s elastic properties while remaining very cosmetically pleasing. These are probably going to be excellent demonstration pieces for a long time to come.1
After 16 iterations, and inspired by a Bruce Sterling story (Kiosk), I've designed and printed a working hair clip.
Length: 8.4cm
Height: 2.2cm
Depth: 1.2cm
Weight: 7g
Printed in ABS, and utterly dependent on its mechanical properties, it features a working ABS hinge, three kinds of springs, and a snap fastener.
This version is plain - the Sketchup file is included for those who want to go on and adorn their hair clips. Failing that, you can use the gently curved outer surface as a base for gluing on your own additions.Versions:
hairclip-mk15 = This version has four embossed stars on the outer bar (as seen in blue in the photograph).
hairclip-mk16-final = The flat backed version, easier to modify on your own.
