Clip-A-Cap (Flashlight)

Flashlight Mount for Clip-A-Cap: The Modular Accessory System

Clip-A-Cap is a modular mounting platform that transforms almost any headwear into a versatile, hands-free tool station. Built on a specialized "Claw & Ball" friction-fit system, the possibilities for customization are virtually endless.

Whether you’re working, reading, or exploring, Clip-A-Cap keeps everything within reach and your hands completely free.

📂 Current Attachment: Flashlight Mount

This mount turns your favorite small torch into a powerful headlamp that can be angled exactly where you need it.

• Hands-Free Lighting: Perfect for mechanics, plumbers, or DIYers working in tight spaces. It provides steady illumination exactly where you look without the bulk of a traditional headlamp strap.

• Outdoor Utility: An essential for evening walks, camping, or emergency roadside repairs. The pivoting mount allows you to aim the beam at the ground or straight ahead for maximum distance.

• Versatile Sizing: The flexible nature of the mount is designed to grip standard small-diameter flashlights securely while allowing for quick removal when you need the light by hand.

🛠 Hardware & Customization

I have provided the STEP file so you can easily modify the design to fit any light you already own.

• Specific Flashlight: Small LED Flashlight on Amazon (This is the specific light I used for this version).

• Adjust It Yourself: Download the STEP file included in the "Files" section to adjust the ring diameter to match your specific flashlight or torch.

⚠ Required: Base Hat Clip

To use this attachment, you must first print the Base Hat Clip. It is the foundation of the system.

• Filament: TPU 95A (Highly recommended). Using TPU for the attachment paired with the PETG Base Clip prevents wear and ensures the joint stays tight. TPU also provides a superior "rubberized" grip on the flashlight.

• Resolution: 0.2mm

• Infill: 30%

• Supports: No

⚖ Disclaimer

Please Read Carefully: I am not an engineer or lighting specialist. This design is provided as-is for personal use. Ensure your flashlight is securely seated before use. Be mindful of heat generation from high-powered flashlights, as excessive heat could soften the 3D printed material. Use of this design is at your own risk.

• Safety Notice: This device is small and may be a choking hazard for children.
