Crab ear cuff

Ideal for Halloween costumes, festivals and photoshoots.

Sizing reference:

• Ear width at the top: 3.5 cm

This is my personal measurement for reference. Fit may vary depending on your ear shape and the specific design.

Adjusting the Fit with Heat:

If necessary, you can carefully reshape the cuff using a hairdryer:

1. Set the hairdryer to high heat and low airflow.
2. Hold it approximately 2–3 cm from the plastic for around 30 seconds, checking its flexibility as you go.
3. Once the plastic becomes bendy but is not melting, carefully adjust its shape.
4. Hold the new shape until it cools and hardens completely.

Heat warning: Hot plastic can cause burns. Never put a warm cuff on your ear. Allow it to cool completely before wearing it, avoid overheating, and work in a well-ventilated area. Adjust gradually and ensure the cuff does not pinch or cause discomfort.

Repairing Broken Parts:

If a part breaks during support removal, it may be possible to reattach it using one of these methods:

3D pen: Use a 3D printing pen loaded with the same type of filament and colour to weld the broken pieces together.

Filament welding: Carefully soften the broken ends of the broken parts with the hot end of the 3D pen and press them together until they bond, then allow them to cool completely.

Safety warning: Avoid using a lighter or torch directly on the printed model, as this can cause uncontrolled melting, burns or fire. A 3D pen using compatible filament offers more controlled repairs. Always work in a well-ventilated area and allow the repaired part to cool fully before handling.
