Laser Pointer Mount for Clip-A-Cap: The Modular Accessory System
Clip-A-Cap is a modular mounting platform that transforms almost any headwear 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.
📂 Current Attachment: Laser Pointer Mount
By mounting a laser to your Clip-A-Cap, you gain a hands-free pointing tool that precisely follows your line of sight.
- Professional Precision: Excellent for contractors, architects, or site inspectors who need to point out structural details while keeping their hands free for blueprints.
- Educational Aid: Perfect for teachers or tour guides who want to highlight items on a board or artifacts without being tethered to a handheld device.
- Movement Feedback & Rehab: Ideal for cervical (neck) proprioception exercises or visual tracking. By observing the laser’s path, you receive immediate visual feedback on your range of motion.
🛠️ Hardware & Customization
This mount was designed around a common "pen-style" shape. I have provided the STEP file so you can easily modify the diameter for any laser you already own.

⚠️ Required: Base Hat Clip
