Immerse yourself in the spirit of Christmas with this beautifully crafted, 3D-printed Nativity scene. This custom-made piece offers you the freedom to add your own decorations, paint in your unique style, and even incorporate lighting to create a heartwarming display. Celebrate the season with this distinctive and personalized creation that’s sure to bring joy and festive cheer to your home!

**Note: **This model includes the base mesh only and does not include any characters. Those can be acquired from other creators on Makerworld and beyond!

**Printing Details:** Printed with PLA using fairly standard settings, with minor tweaks in the .3mf file and extra infill added to specific areas for strength.
No print supports are needed.

**Lighting Design:** The design includes a dedicated area for adding lighting under the roof. This section is suitable for a short LED strip, or, as I chose, a flexible LED filament added at the last minute. Both options work well. There is a hole in the back for routing wires to a base extension that can house a battery pack.
You may need to do some soldering. One flexible filament can be soldered to the wires coming from the battery holder. Confirm you're using two AA batteries to provide the 3 volts needed for the LEDs. The light can be threaded through the hole at the back and superglued into place.

**Materials Used:**
Vallejo DioramaFX Earth texture
Vallejo Primers Grey & Hobby Paint White Spray
Vallejo Xpress Color & Game Colour
SuperGlue
PVA Glue
Krautcover - Soil of Sparta Basing
Tiny Tufts Grass
Small Hand Towel (for the roof texture)
LED Flexible Filament Lights 2200k 3-volts
2 x AA Battery Holder w/Switch & wires

A broad step-by-step guide on the process can be found in the images above.

Hope you like it and Merry Christmas!
