Synopsis: 3D printed custom designed ear clips to wear cute things without needing to get my ears pierced. There's not a lot of commercially available earclips out there (mostly for children and even then they're pretty uncommon), and mine started to break more and more, or I'd lose them from time to time. I just decided to use some of my Fusion 360 skills (not very skilled but I can get by) and the 3D printers in the space to make my own, that I can print as often as I want. Bonus points if I can get them to work with earrings (so that I can attach those to the clips instead of my ears directly). The clips currently consist of the custom part to clip onto my ears (and I can adjust them to fit better if needed), some rings/hooks and then whatever I'd want to hang off them. Since I printed them in PLA, they're easy enough to paint/color with the acrylic paint markers we have :3

I still want to get my ears pierced but that'll have to wait.
