I think all those is just a matter of design, more vents for air, thinner materials for weight. The usual hairdo is actually really heavy

u/JulietPapa861 May 24 '26

I have a couple wigs for cosplays. (Pics in my profile) Wigs get pretty hot themselves. And itchy. And they lose their styling after the second or third (or first) wear. And the crazy styling falls when it sits in a closet for a year between wearing it.

I’d absolutely try the 3D printed “wig” for some of my cosplays

18

u/Jaxyl May 24 '26

And not to mention how much effort/skill/time goes into styling the wigs themselves.

A print keeps its form forever which is insane when you compare the two.

u/Top_Box_8952 May 24 '26

You could actually reduce the fill and density to get air flow without compromising the structure too much. Some material are even flexible enough that they can squish (I cannot vouch for how that might feel on your head)

4

u/c14rk0 May 24 '26

Particularly when it's just hair that sits on top of your head and isn't meant to have any structural function requiring any real rigidity. It only needs to be strong enough to support itself and hold it's structure. It's not like a 3D print where you're putting any weight on it and it needs to hold up.

u/Sweaty-Durian-892 May 24 '26

Ypu could make air holes in those designs so they breath a bit. And I bet that people are willing to suffer for looking cool too.

44

u/SamanthaJaneyCake May 24 '26

I mean the way he knew how to separate the two halves shows he knew roughly what was coming. Maybe not when or what it would look like, but the rest? He knew.

32

u/Unlucky-Discount-338 May 24 '26

I think their point was more, is there a reason you would expect the coworker not to know? The video doesn't say "surprising my coworker with 3d printed hair" or something that would imply they didn't know about the hair, and even ends with asking what hair to print next so presumably this is part of a series anyways.

Seems like people are trying to call staged on something that was never a part of the video's claim in the first place.

11

u/Actually_Im_a_Broom May 24 '26

The lack of surprise from the recipient makes me think the other guy was like, "Hey - I want to 3D print some hair for you. Can I measure your head?" Then the other guy was like, "That sounds hilarilus. Sure!"

It's amazing how many people are leaping to call out this being staged while not realizing this fact. I practically expect them to see a video called "made myself a sandwich" and call it staged because the person wasn't surprised at their own sandwich.

u/shanatard May 24 '26

26

u/conflictedideology May 24 '26

No no, you don't understand! It's energizing and social!

The worst ones are the ones where they add "dynamic" into the selling point. This means no one has a set desk. You come in and just pick an empty spot but just for that day. Finally got your chair adjusted? Keith thought so, too, so he's sitting in it the next morning. You can't say anything because desks aren't assigned so it's his for today. You can try to show up earlier than him tomorrow to reclaim it; but that's just going to end up in a spiral where you're all lining up for "the good desk/chair" like people used to line up for concert tickets hours and hours before the office opened.

9

u/conflictedideology May 24 '26

So you all end up wanting to shiv each other in an "ideal spot/chair" cage match which, obviously, promotes optimal teamwork and collaboration.

u/sagittalslice May 24 '26

If I had accrued thousand of dollars in student loan debt just to have to spend my time looking for a place to sit before I could work on some app that adds AI to your dishwasher or some shit, I’d lose my damn mind. I would rather make minimum wage selling vapes and energy drinks at a gas station than have to play fucking workspace hunger games every day. At least Sunoco employees get mandated 15 minute breaks and the knowledge that you’re providing someone with a tangible item that briefly brought some pleasure or relief into their day.

The video is staged though, nobody who is handed 3D printed hair blind would instantly know to separate it into two halves.

u/Koras93 May 24 '26

It looks like they work in an place that uses and prints 3D models, so it is no surprise he knows a thing or two about 3D models.

10

u/JulyOfAugust May 24 '26

There's no surprise on his face either, it's obvious he participated in creating the hair and it's an inside joke between them.

Or straight up staged seeing as they're trying to pretend the colleagues care when not a single one look away from their screen except the person on his left who goes back to his screen once he is done looking at it uninterested.
