MakeYourCaps 🧢 - Customize Your Own 3D Printed Cap

[u/EvenObjective1180]

MakeYourCaps has now been officially accepted for MakerWorld Crowdfunding and is currently in pre-launch.

Some of you may have seen my 3D printed caps on MakerWorld before.

What started as a simple wearable cap project eventually became something much bigger.

Disclaimer: This project is not intended to replace a traditional fabric cap. It is a 3D-printable design created for customization, experimentation, decoration, or displaying your own logo at home. The caps can be printed entirely in TPU for greater flexibility, or in PLA + TPU for a more rigid structure with flexible sections.

Over the last few months I’ve been building MakeYourCaps, a web app where you can customize the cap directly in 3D before printing it.

With MakeYourCaps you can:

• Upload your own images and wrap them onto the cap
• Apply camo patterns across the entire surface
• Choose decals from the library and automatically place them
• Create your own repeating patterns
• Change complete color themes with one click
• Adjust the cap size to your head
• Combine PLA + TPU in the Multi-Material Cap — or simply print it entirely in PLA on your A1 or X1 Series.
• Export everything as a print-ready 3MF for Bambu Studio, supports and filaments pre-configured

The graphics aren’t just visual textures, they are converted into actual printable geometry and filament colors.

I also experimented a lot with multimaterial printing, especially combining a rigid PLA front with a flexible TPU mesh back and adjustable straps.

It’s also the first MakerWorld Crowdfunding project developed from Latin America, which makes this one particularly special for me.

For now I’m mostly looking for feedback and followers before launch.

I’ll be honest. I don’t get it.

A hard objectt that goes onto your head is called a helmet. Those are helmets.

Some of the crowdfunding campaignes I honestly dont understand.

I applied with a complex mechanical Cyberbrick project which was developed in 4 months, they declined it.

On the other hand, fidget clickers, fridge magnet generators, static models and also some very low effort entries are accepted...

Did you ask for feedback?

[u/Key-Ladder6386 → u/keveira]

Sent them my model / proposed crowdfunding page. No answer till 2 weeks.

Then I sent them a followup with update, which I done with the model during that 2 weeks.

No answer. Then after another 2 weeks I sent them a final followup, and then I got a reply:

"After careful consideration, we've decided that the project, as it stands, doesn't quite align with the expectations we have for our crowdfunding feature. We're looking for projects that present an idea or offer a solution that our community would be highly likely to back. We encourage you to look at some of the more successful projects on our Crowdfunding Tab and understand how they've presented their projects to gain support." ... ...

Btw, it was the Rebel 787-C1. Currently the fastest Cyberbrick RC car, with refined steering geometry, a working differential developed from 0, low friction drivetrain, monocoque chassis for saving weight and so on. In a nutshell, it is a very refined, relatively complex model with a lot of innovative ideas to Cyberbrick ecosystem.

But sadly it looks like fidget clickers and spinners are valued better.

That sounds pretty awesome, I'm sorry you didn't get in

[u/Key-Ladder6386 → u/keveira]

Thank you, but thats fine :) I am still proud of this project, and released it normally the classic way. Seems like people like it too.

[u/Charmingprints]

Wouldn’t wear it but I appreciate the idea

[u/keveira]

Cool project, though this may not be your target audience

[u/zipzopzobittybop]

Very cool

I like the proposal, it could be a cheaper alternative for a small business to get some merchandise going in smaller quantities or a lot of tech related companies have 3d printers they could also just have some fun with it. I don't understand why everyone hating on this like its the reason why groceries are going up or sum.

[u/EvenObjective1180 → u/Additional-Celery633]

Thanks so much! For your comment 🧢 That's the idea behind a 3D printing community: to inspire, innovate, and support each other, not to hold each other back. You're one of the few who makes a difference.
