3D Printed Holiday Ornament
Create and 3D print a custom holiday ornament.
Your ornament will be between 20-60mm per dimension (X, Y and Z).
Below are a few shape combinations, you can copy them and take them apart using this TinkerCad link, or you can sketch out an idea for an ornament. If you need inspiration, Macy's has an extensive ornament collection!
1. Sketch it out
Are you going traditional, unique, or personal message?
3. Start designing
4. [Optional] Create a Hanging Hole
If your design doesn't have a built-in hole to hang up your ornament, add one.
You can use a cylinder sized down to about 5mm, or add a ring shape to the top of your design.
5. Printing Flat versus Volume
Flat Design = use Quick Print
Layer Height is .30mm
Uncheck Raft and Supports
Voluminous Design = use Custom Print
To print Hollow do the following in MakerBot Desktop Settings
Under Custom Tab
Go to Infill and change Infill Density to 0%
Go to Model Properties and change Layer Height to .30mm and Floor Thickness to .00mm
