Designed this hair clip for my girlfriend. It requires a torsion spring and a pin. I went to the dollar tree and took the parts from their hair clips. If anyone finds a good source for these parts online, please post a link in the comments
Printing:
Using my ender 3 printer, I did 100% infill and generate supports everywhere with a 59 overhang angle.
The supports can be tricky to remove, so I suggest cutting them loose to avoid breaking the print. Some sanding is required to get it in a good condition. I use super glue to attach the hinges.
