Ingenuity Project
Nic needs a way to remove hair from face while gaming because it is hard to focus. In order to help his problem, I will transform a typical headband into an attachable accessory to headphones so that hair stays out of the face.
Supplies
- wire bender
- wirecutter
- magnets
- hot glue
- headphones
- metalheadband
- 3D printer
Select 3 Cylinder Shapes and One Rectangle Then Place on Plane
In tinkered create a new 3-D design and start with 3 cylinders.
-One cylinder should have both sides be at least 10 millimeters wider than the width of your headphone band.
-The second cylinder should be transparent and have the same measurements as you headband width.
-Third cylinder should be 2x2 mm and transparent
-the rectangle should be transparent and measure 6mm by the length of your cylinder so that it reaches all the way across the cylinder.
Line Up the Shapes to Make a 2 Halfs of a Hollowed Out Cylinder
Place the second cylinder directly in the middle of the first cylinder and then place the rectangle so that it divides the cylinder in half. Take your third cylinder and place it in the middle of the first cylinder'd sides. select al these shapes and group them to make one solid shape
Change the Object to Your Desired Color and Copy and Paste Another of the Same Object
Export Your 3-D Design As an STL Into Inkscape
connect to a 3d printer form Inkscape and wait until the connectors are fully printed out
Hot Glue Corresponding Magnets to Each of the Connectors Ends
They should become one cylinder when you connect the magnets together. Do this to both cylinders.
Enter the Ends of the Metal Headband Inside of the Small Hole to the Side of the Cylinder and Hot Glue.
Hold the headband until the glue is fully dried. Connect both sides of the headband to both of the cylinders.
Wrap the Connectors Around the Band of Your Headphones Othat the Hairband Aligns With the Top of Your Headphones
Final product!
