Learn how to install the Cyborg Head Cap (Black Navy) on your Smart Doll, including magnet embedding tips and common pitfalls.

Quick Answer

To install the Cyborg Head Cap (Black Navy), first prepare magnets (not included) and your Smart Doll head, then attach the cap using the supplied alignment guide.

Understanding the Cyborg Head Cap

The Cyborg Head Cap (Black Navy) is a vinyl accessory originally created as an April Fools joke, but now a functional part for adding cybernetic augments like meow ears or beast horns. Its surface can hold embedded magnets for easy attachment of 3D-printed parts.

A key trade-off: magnets are not included, so you'll need to source your own. The cap fits over the existing Smart Doll head, so no permanent modification is required.

Installation Steps

Gather Materials: Collect the Cyborg Head Cap (Black Navy), your Smart Doll head, small neodymium magnets (not included), and a soft cloth. Ensure the magnets are strong enough to hold your chosen augmentations. Common mistake: using weak magnets that cannot support the weight of 3D-printed parts.
Prepare the Cap Surface: Clean the inside of the cap with a damp cloth to remove any dust. The vinyl surface is designed to accept magnets, but avoid scratching it. Checkpoint: ensure the cap is completely dry before proceeding to avoid slipping.
Embed Magnets: Place a small amount of strong adhesive (e.g., epoxy) on the back of each magnet, then press them into the cap's interior at positions matching your augmentations. Allow the adhesive to cure fully per the manufacturer's instructions. Common mistake: using too much adhesive can cause the cap to bulge or not fit snugly on the head.
Test Fit on Doll Head: Gently place the cap over the Smart Doll head without forcing it. The cap should sit flush. If it feels loose, add more magnets or adjust their positions. If too tight, check for excess adhesive. Checkpoint: the cap should not compress the doll's head or leave gaps.
Attach Augmentations: Once magnets are set, attach your cybernetic meow ears or beast horns (available as free 3D STL files from the Free Stuff section). The magnets should hold them securely. Final check: gently tug each augmentation to verify it stays in place during handling.
