Instructions – DIY Gold And White Star Bobby Pins

If this is your first 3D project, I did a post on setting up your 3D Printer and making your first project.

  1. In Silhouette Studio, create your star designs using the polygon tool.
  2. Create and internal offset and then  Make a Compound Path. Save your design
  3. In the Silhouette 3D Software, open your design from step 2
  4. A pop-up will appear: Import As
  5. Select Extrusion
  6. The design will appear in 3D
  7. Select your star design and make any adjustments to the dimensions on the top menu bar to ensure that the 3D version will be the desired size for the glue pad on your bobby pin
  8. Select the 3D Print Tab on the top right
  9. Select the Quality (I used the Standard option)
  10. Press Print. The machine will heat up and print your 3D design – you will see the countdown of time as well
  11. Once it is printed, let it cool then remove the platform from the printer
  12. Use the spatula to gently remove your ornament and any extra filament
  13. Repeat for as many stars you need
  14. Glue each star to the glue pad on the bobby pin

Tip: If the star is not completely smooth or has little strings of filament attached to it, cut off the excess filament and use an emory board (nail file) or sand paper to smooth the surface.
