Star Christmas Tree Ornament

**NOT TO BE SOLD**
**I'm sharing my files so that you can make them for yourselves or give them away as gifts. I hope you enjoy them. I do not authorize sale of my work by anyone. Please don't ask me.**

**WHAT IS IT?**
This is a fun Christmas tree ornament that would also make a fun suncatcher if it's printed with transparent filament. It's reminiscent of a cross, a star (it actually has 8 points), classical western architecture, and more. Using my settings, it's a nice weight at 100% and extremely light at 75% and smaller.

**EASY PRINT**
If you use my settings, you shouldn't have any problems getting this to print. If you print this with your printer's default settings, you'll get a paperweight with a mushy top.

**RESIZING**
At 100%, the ornament is a nice size for larger trees – especially for the base of the tree where you'd expect larger ornaments. However, you can scale this down to 50% and still get nice prints. At that size, the ornament looks good on miniature trees. I haven't tried printing it larger than 100%.

**PRINT TIME**
With my settings, it will take about 4.5 hours to print at 100% scale. At 50%, it takes a little over an hour.

**COLOR-CHANGE PLA**
I used TTYT3D's quick color change PLA. If you print one ornament with it at 100% with it, you'll get a subtle color change. For a more dramatic change, like in the size comparison photo, print several ornaments at once. To go all the way from gold to blue, you'll need the estimated print weight to be at least 75 grams (4 ornaments at 100%).

**HOW DO YOU HANG IT?**
I've concealed attachment points one the back of one of the points of the star. Just tie a piece of coat thread to them to create a loop.

**PRINT SETTINGS**
You'll generally want to print this at the lower end of your PLA's temperature range. I print TTYT3D PLA at 180 degrees, which is well below their recommended temperature. Maybe my printer just runs hot, but that temp prints more accurately with less stringing.

*Thickness*

* Layer thickness: .15mm
* Wall thickness: 0.4mm and choose the “alternate extra wall” option so it alternates between 0.4 and 0.8mm walls with each layer (if you're using Cura – other slicers may not have this option). The alternate extra wall seems to prevent gaps in the print while minimizing the overall weight of the ornament. If you print below 75% scale, I suggest printing at 0.4mm without the alternate extra wall. I would also print without the alternate extra layer if you're using transparent filament.
* Top/bottom thickness: 2 layers for opaque filament, 1 for transparent filament
* Initial bottom thickness: 3 layers

*Infill*
This doesn't need any infill. Seriously.

*Speed*
You'll want to use slow printer settings to that the print is accurate and to reduce the pull on the thin arms of the topper.

* Overall: 60mm/s
* Outer wall: 40mm/s
* Inner wall: 50mm/s
* Travel Speed: 100mm/sec

*Build Plate Adhesion*
I printed with just a skirt and it worked well every time. If you have difficulty getting the details of the first layer to adhere to your bed, try adding a raft.

*Supports*
I added supports to get the outer points of the ornament to print better, but you can do without them. The supports I added made little difference in print time or the amount of filament used. I found that adding supports on the side with the attachment points (for strings) was problematic (attachment points broke before supports separated) and unnecessary (model printed fine without the supports). So, I added a support blocker to that corner. Support settings:

* Placement: touching Buildplate
* Overhang: 69 degrees
* Pattern: Lines
* Density: 12%
* Enable Support Brim: Yes
* Brim Width: 4mm

*Common Problems*
* Uneven print: Reduce print speed or try scaling the print up in the Z dimension only. Scaling disproportionately may impact how the ornament hangs.
* Mushy print: Reduce print temp, increase cooling, or print more than one ornament at a time.

I Love 3D Printing Gag Gift Mug

Clogged nozzles, layer shifts, poor layer adhesion… anyone familiar with 3D printing will recognize these!

See here for video: https://youtu.be/FJbw00gRW_4  

Are getting or giving a 3D printer this holiday season? This model is the perfect first print! Just hit print and walk away. Any flaws will only make it better!

3D designing and printing teaches us to expect mistakes, plan for them, fix them and try again. If you are new to 3D printing, you can expect to have more than a few prints that come out looking something like this mug.

Disclaimer: All flaws in this model are intended and don’t represent the quality of the brands shown! Lulzbot makes excellent printers and eSun makes excellent filament. Both are great options for avoiding the 3D printing pitfalls that you see in this print!


Knitted Stocking Container.stl

Warm your winter supplies with this cozy Knitted Stocking container! 

See here for video: https://youtu.be/jKJB6-62kV4 

The toe, heel and body of the stocking use a regular knit geometry. The upper trim uses a rib knit geometry.

Print without supports. You will get some small areas of print fail on the inside and lower edges, but this will either not be visible or easy to clean up with a file if you choose.

Cube Ornaments

These cube ornaments are a simple but very fun Christmas project. You can make them in any shiny color you want. Let's try to reach 100 downloads by the end of November. I work hard on these designs, so if you like my designs, a follow and some feedback would be very helpful.

Closed Lattice Christmas Topper

**NOT TO BE SOLD**
**I'm sharing my files so that you can make them for yourselves or give them away as gifts. I hope you enjoy them. I do not authorize sale of my work by anyone. Please don't ask me.**

**WHAT IS IT?**
This is a topper for small to medium Christmas trees. It will work well on trees that are anywhere from about 4 feet (1.3 meters) up to 7 feet (2.3 meters) tall.

**CHALLENGING PRINT**
If you just got your first 3D printer and are looking for your first thing to print, this isn't it. Using the settings I recommend below, an experienced maker should be able to get a good print without many failed attempts. However, if you are not intimately familiar with the detailed settings in your slicer, add this to your favorites and come back when you have a little more experience. If it's frustrating, it's no fun.

If you're looking for an even bigger challenge, try my Open Lattice Christmas Tree Topper: https://thangs.com/designer/dazus/3d-model/Open%20Lattice%20Christmas%20Topper-472732?manualModelView=true.

**COMMON PROBLEMS PRINTING**
Assuming you use the print settings I recommended below, here are some common problems and possible fixes:
*Comes off bed:* Increase brim/raft size. Reduce print speed. Add more supports.
*Print looks rough:* Reduce print speed.

**PRINT TIME
With my settings, it will take 12-15 hours depending on the exact support and build plate adhesion settings you use.

**PRINT SETTINGS**
*Thickness*

* Layer thickness: .15mm
* Wall thickness: 0.4mm and choose the “alternate extra wall” option so it alternates between 0.4 and 0.8mm walls with each layer (if you're using Cura – other slicers may not have this option). The alternate extra wall seems to prevent gaps in the print while minimizing the overall weight of the ornament.
* Top/bottom thickness: 0.3mm

*Infill*
This doesn't need any infill. Seriously.

*Speed*
You'll want to use slow printer settings to that the print is accurate and to reduce the pull on the thin arms of the topper.

* Overall: 60mm/s
* Outer wall: 20mm/s
* Inner wall: 40mm/s
* Travel Speed: 65mm/sec

*Build Plate Adhesion*
You'll need to use either a brim or a raft. The base of the ornament is a thin, narrow circle. It just won't stay attached to the bed without a little help. I'd use an 8mm brim 8mm or a 15-20mm raft.

*Supports*
I used the custom support plug-in in Cura, choose the “freeshape” option whose icon looks like an extruded star, then chose “arch-buttress” from the drop-down. I attached overlapping supports to both the middle of the large and medium bulbs on all 4 sides. This results in a single support on each of 4 sides that makes contact with the ornament in 2 places. I used 20% gyro infill and a 1 layer wall. 

After the print was done, I found that the supports only just survived the printing process – and if they failed, the whole print would fail. I would now recommend using the “custom” option from the drop-down instead, making the walls 2 layers thick, scaling the width of each support to 150%, and reducing the infill to 8% gyro. Granted, I haven't tested this exact combo, but I know it'll be a lot stronger. The main difference in the “custom” vs. the “arch-buttress” is that the “custom” option provides good lateral support so sideways forces don't break the support in half. The new settings will add about 90 minutes to the print time. However, when this print fails, it generally does it after 75% or more has printed. Adding 90 minutes to the print may save you from printing for 9 hours only to have to start over.

I've attached screenshots from Cura so you can see both options.

If your slicer doesn't have an option for something similar to custom supports, you might try these settings, but I do not know if they will work:

* Overhang angle: 52 degrees
* Support wall line count: 2
* Support pattern: Gyro
* Support density: 8%
* Support placement: touching buildplate

If you do use them, add a support blocker to the center of the model to prevent supports from being added to the central shaft. There's no need for the supports there. It'll only add time to the print while giving you even more supports to remove when the print is finished.

Open Spiral Christmas Bell

**NOT TO BE SOLD**
**I'm sharing my files so that you can make them for yourselves or give them away as gifts. I hope you enjoy them. I do not authorize sale of my work by anyone. Please don't ask me.**

**CHALLENGING PRINT**
If you just got your first 3D printer and are looking for your first thing to print, this isn't it. Using the settings I recommend below, an experienced maker should be able to get a good print without many failed attempts.

**COMMON PRINTING PROBLEMS**
Assuming you use the print settings I recommended below, here are some common problems and possible fixes:
* Mushy print: Reduce print temp.
* Comes off bed: Increase raft size. Reduce print speed.
* Print looks rough: Reduce print speed.
* Breaks during printing: Reduce print speed and print temperature. If you can, increase cooling. Add more supports.

**PRINT TIME**
With my settings, it took about 3.5 hours.

**PRINT SETTINGS**
*Thickness*

* Layer thickness: .15mm
* Wall thickness: 0.8mm. If you want to go thinner to reduce weight, consider using Cura's “alternate extra wall” option so it alternates between 0.4 and 0.8mm walls with each layer. That may prevent gaps in the print.
* Top/bottom thickness: 0.3mm

*Infill*
This doesn't need any infill. Seriously. 

*Speed*
You'll want to use slow printer settings to that the print is accurate and to reduce chance the bell is pulled off the plate curing printing.

* Overall: 60mm/s
* Outer wall: 30mm/s
* Inner wall: 40mm/s
* Travel Speed: 65mm/sec

*Build Plate Adhesion*
The first layer of the bell is just a thin circle. I've found that a raft works well to provide bed adhesion. It also separates more cleanly than a brim for this model. 

*Supports*
This print absolutely requires supports to keep the spiral arms from breaking. By setting the overhang angle to 45 degrees, you get support exactly where you need it: at the base where the arms touch the rim and then curve, and at the roof of the bell. It's a lot lower angle than you might normally use, but it's needed for this design.

* Support placement: Touching buildplate
* Support overhang angle: 45 degrees
* Support pattern: Gyroid
* Support wall line count: 1
* Support density: 10%
