PS:

① I set the printer to pause mid-print (at the second layer), then laid down a mesh screen, attached a magnet, and made sure to stretch it taut before resuming printing; this way, the mesh will be printed onto the model.

You’ll need to prepare several 8mm rivets.

② This uses thermochromic material, making it ideal for on-the-go use—its color changes with temperature, adding an extra element of visual interest.

This Qingyi Cooling Hat is specially designed for the height of summer, blending traditional Chinese lake-and-sea motifs with meticulous 3D craftsmanship. It serves as a summer accessory that combines sun protection, stylish aesthetics, and a distinctive textured feel. The entire hat is crafted from a semi-transparent soft pink material in one seamless piece, featuring a breathable, airy brim that prevents stuffiness or excessive sweating under the blazing sun, while creating a visually refreshing and cooling ambiance.

The embossed surface of the hat delicately depicts layered ripples, lively swimming fish, and surging wave patterns, with a central spiral design recreating the mesmerizing whirlpool effect of a lake’s surface. Every line is finely sculpted and three-dimensional, so when sunlight filters through the cap, the interplay of light and shadow casts subtle patterns onto your skin, lending an ethereal, elegant aura. Sturdy metal rivets ensure a secure connection, while the wide-brimmed silhouette provides all-around protection from the sun, shielding both face and neck—perfect for lakeside strolls, garden outings, picnics, vacations, and other summer activities.

Its soft nude-pink base color pairs effortlessly with various light-colored summer outfits, while its understated yet refined traditional Chinese patterns set it apart from ordinary fabric straw hats. The unique texture achieved through 3D printing offers a niche, distinctive appeal, making it suitable for everyday wear, vintage-style ensembles, or atmospheric photo shoots. With just one hat, you can carry the serene beauty of a summer pond right atop your head—enjoying breezy transparency and poetic elegance, preserving a touch of gentle, cool lake-inspired charm even in the sweltering heat of summer.
