Modular Hair Claw Clip V2

This is the improved V2 of my modular hair claw clip.

The idea is simple: instead of printing a full clip every time, you can keep the main spring clip and swap the claws when needed. This makes it easy to replace worn parts or change the style without reprinting the whole clip.

Compared to V1, this version has:

• a more reliable claw attachment
• better overall strength
• improved usability

One small note: as with most 3D printed spring parts, the clip may lose some elasticity over time depending on the material used. When that happens, you can simply print and replace the clip body while keeping the claws.

I have already designed a few interchangeable clips:

• a simple clip
• a heart
• a butterfly

The goal of this project is to expand the collection of clips over time.

If you have ideas for new designs, feel free to suggest them in the comments!
You can also design your own clips if you want.

To make this easier, I included the .STEP files of the clips, so anyone can modify them or create new ones compatible with the system.

I’m looking forward to seeing what people come up with!
