My best-friend-besides-my-spouse was over lately and I had acquired a 3D printer since the last time she'd been over, so I gave her some starter URLs on the various sites for things she might want me to print and we had a pretty decent time browsing the options.

(COVID has meant that I see her a lot less than I'd like)

We found some fun stuff that she had me print.  I found some neat organizers for the tools in her workshop, for example.

One thing she wanted and didn't really find much that she liked was implements of fashionable hair control.  There were a few hair forks and none of them really worked for her hair.  She's got really long fine hair and this means that only certain kinds of hair implements will work for it.  Too many of them had the wrong fork size or had square edges instead of roudned edges or other problems.

This seemed like something I could knock off at least a simple version thereof right away, so I went upstairs with OpenSCAD, my calipers, and a metal hair fork that she kinda liked and started playing with shapes to see what I could make.  I printed like 3-4 versions till I found one that worked for her.  I had to adjust it in a few directions to make it less bendy, angled the way I wanted, et al.

By the time I was done, I had a simple hair fork that prints in less than an hour (half an hour on my printer) that works for someone with long fine hair.  It's rounded so it won't get caught on the hair and it's curved and a bit tapered to help hold the hair in place.

I am hoping, by posting a simple version, that I cause other folks to think about more interesting stylized hair forks that have more than just a little round tab on the top.  I posted the OpenSCAD file as well as a mesh, if you want to use the OpenSCAD version, you need to install the BOSL2 library

I printed PLA at 0.2mm layer height with PLA.  Doesn't need any supports or rafts or anything.
