Description

Here's the full description with all em dashes removed:

Clip-A-Cap is a Swiss Army knife for your hat: 7 snap-on tools, one base clip, zero hands needed.

Clip-A-Cap is a modular mounting platform that transforms almost any headwear (baseball caps, straw hats, thick winter beanies, and more) into a versatile, hands-free tool station. Built on a specialized "Claw & Ball" friction-fit system , the possibilities for customization are virtually endless.

Whether you're working, reading, or exploring, Clip-A-Cap keeps everything within reach and your hands completely free.

This upload combines the full system in one place: the Base Hat Clip and all seven current attachments.

🧢 How the System Works

- Print the Base Hat Clip first. It's the foundation of the entire system and clips onto the brim of your hat.

- The tip of the base clip features a technical-grade claw that snaps onto any attachment's 9.7mm ball joint .

- Print the Base Clip in PETG and every attachment in TPU 95A . Mixing materials this way prevents the wear that happens when two identical plastics rub together, so the joint stays tight over time.

- At the 9.7mm spec, attachments snap in easily but hold firmly at whatever angle you set them.

1 Base Hat Clip, The Foundation

The essential clip required to host every attachment in the system.

2 Golf Tee Holder

- Walls: 3

- Resolution: 0.2mm | Infill: 30% | Supports: No

3 Image Faceplate

A blank canvas for logos or QR codes to link to your portfolio or socials on the move. Two-part system:

- Image Plate (PETG) : the rigid canvas for designs, logos, QR codes

- Plate Holder (TPU 95A) : the flexible frame that grips the plate and snaps onto the base clip

Fully resizable in your slicer/CAD software. STEP files included for both parts. For QR codes, use high-contrast colors (black on white).

Print Settings

- Filament: TPU 95A (holder) / PETG (plate)

- Walls: 3 | Resolution: 0.2mm (0.1 to 0.12mm for fine text/QR) | Infill: 20 to 30% | Supports: No

4 Magnetic Dock

A print-in-place magnetic staging area for screws, bits, and nails, so there's no more hardware in your teeth! Fully encapsulates a stack of three magnets for a clean finish with no glue required.

Required hardware: 3x neodymium magnets, 20mm diameter x 2mm thick

Assembly, the "Pause-and-Drop" method (important!):

- Program a Pause at Height (or Color Change) in your slicer just before the "roof" of the magnet cavity begins.
