**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%

Diamond Christmas Bell

This is the third in this year's Christmas bell series. It prints quickly ad easily. Use a nice medium toned silky, metallic or multicolored filament to show off the geometry - or use translucent filament to make it glow.

This is based on my closed lattice, spiral and open lattice bells. It's roughly the same size (slightly taller) with a new loop at the top and a new lattice pattern.

**PRINT SETTINGS**
* Walls: 0.4 - 0.8 mm (I used 0.4 mm for the clear bell and added an alternating extra line for the opaque bell)
* Layer Thickness: 0.15 mm recommended. Anything from 0.1 - 0.2 mm should look good.
* Infill: None. Seriously. It doesn't need it. It just adds weight and print time.
* Rafts/Brim: I didn't use either. However, the first layer is just a single width circle, so you may need to add a brim or raft.
* Supports: None. I designed this to print cleanly without them.
