3D printed Christmas decorations. 3D printing service to order.
During the New Year and Christmas holidays, everyone tries to create a festive atmosphere around them. Christmas trees are set up in houses, wreaths are woven, and themed mantelpieces are equipped. All this is accompanied by souvenirs, Christmas decorations, beads, garlands, toys, figurines. Even a simple 3D printer can help you create beautiful and original Christmas souvenirs and decorations on your own. Moreover, there are plenty of inspiring examples on the Internet. nine0003
Gyroscopic ornaments
The simplest star or snowflake can turn from a simple flat figure into a three-dimensional original decoration.
In a similar technique, you can make a snowflake, Christmas tree. Products are printed as simple as possible, and when combined, they allow you to get a very beautiful and original voluminous toy that can be painted at your discretion. At the same time, no one limits your imagination. Given the capabilities of a 3D printer, you can print complex balls, three-dimensional figures, and much more. nine0003
Beads and garlands
These are the simplest Christmas decorations that can also be used in themed installations. However, their printing does not present any difficulties. You can choose beads of simple or complex geometry, even print figures. Individual elements can be connected to each other using special latches or simply strung on a fishing line. The choice is yours.
Experienced and knowledgeable electrical enthusiasts can use a 3D printer to create glowing garlands. A simple string of LEDs can be a wonderful glowing decoration. nine0003
For example, you can print vintage lanterns, hollow Christmas trees, patterned hollow balls.
A small LED is hidden inside and voila - the garland is ready. Keep in mind that LEDs, although slightly, heat up, so choose a filament that can withstand temperature.
Souvenirs and gifts
Fireplaces, tables, window sills for Christmas and New Year are decorated with themed figurines. They are also placed under the tree. Such figures can be printed on a 3D printer. Similar souvenirs can accompany a gift. It is original, creates a mood and lasts long enough. There are a lot of options, there are plenty to choose from:
- imitation gift box;
- Christmas reindeer
- sprigs of poinsettia or holly;
- angels;
- original shape Christmas lantern and much more.
Father Frost or Santa?
Who do you like better? Russian Grandfather Frost with a broad beard and a long fur coat or a foreign Santa Claus? In our opinion, don’t name it as a hero, the meaning is the same. And you have the opportunity to print the original figure of the New Year's grandfather with gifts.
And there are comic options, and real works of art. Miniatures can decorate with themselves not only the space under the Christmas tree or on the mantelpiece, but also become a wonderful gift for relatives and friends. nine0003
Don't forget about the companions of Santa and Ded Moroz: the Snow Maiden, the snowman, the elves. If you set a goal, you can make a picturesque thematic installation that will decorate any home and holiday.
3D printing opens up great opportunities for creating themed Christmas and New Year souvenirs and decorations. Take advantage of these opportunities, and if you do not have a 3D printer, then all your wishes can be translated into reality in 3DService.
3D printed Christmas decorations (+ video)
Checkers with sweets
There is always something to do during the holidays - spend time with family, eat traditional dishes, unpack gifts, watch movies or play games. Board games are often given away for the new year, and Giuseppe Finizia's 3D-printed candy checkers are a great option.
You only need to 3D print the checkers themselves, and then put small candies into them, for example, Smarties, M&Ms, Skittles. The developer himself used a Zortrax M200 3D printer, but any such personal model should work. 3D printing does not require support elements. nine0003
Snowflakes in various shapes
Traditional Christmas snowflakes can also be transformed with this project by Laura Thalman aka mathgrrl. She developed the Snowflake Machine program, which automatically generates unique snowflakes based on mathematical algorithms, code, and some variable parameters. Talman's Thingiverse page features over 45 types of snowflakes created with the Snowflake Machine. Simply install the program to get access to an almost unlimited number of unique snowflakes. nine0003
Cookie molds
Any cookie will benefit from interesting shapes, especially during the holiday season. Moreover, thanks to innovations, there is no need to storm stores - with the help of 3D printing, you can make any cookie shapes at home.
In addition to their own models, there are many interesting free options available on the Internet, among them are bells, Santa Claus and reindeer from OogiMe. The already mentioned Snowflake Machine by Laura Talman has also been redesigned for 3D printing cookie cutters, thanks to Matthias Peschek. Cookies in the form of different snowflakes will definitely decorate a festive dinner. nine0003
Movable Christmas Toys
bqLabs cute reindeer, Santa Claus and elves not only print as one unit, but also feature moving arms and legs. Support elements are needed during the 3D printing process, but the developer notes that they are easy to remove by simply pulling. These adorable toys can be further painted and finished to enhance the festive effect.
Santa Claus reindeer
A couple of years ago, Canadian 3D designer Yeg3D published a free model of a holiday deer. The figurine printed on a 3D printer is worthy of serving as a Christmas decoration in itself, but if desired, it can be painted, as the author did.
In addition, the deer can be decorated with bows, bells and any other traditional accessories - it will definitely become a favorite of the whole family.
Christmas tree-snowflake
This project combines two main themes: at first glance, the 3D printed decoration looks like an ordinary Christmas tree, but from below you can see an unusual snowflake. The 3D model can be downloaded for free from Genapart's author page on Thingiverse. The author presented four options for decoration: with and without a hole for hanging, curved and straight wood. Several users of the site have already reported that they have successfully printed an unusual Christmas tree. nine0003
Minimalistic decorations
Thingiverse user Marten Curver has presented stylish, minimalist 3D printed Christmas decorations. The author notes that to create one ball, you need to print the main files eight times, and the top and bottom once. These pieces can be assembled into a piece of jewelry by gluing them together or connecting them with a 3D printing pen, as Curver did.
The range of decorations is amazing - it's easy to imagine how beautiful such a Christmas tree will be. nine0003
Postcard with Christmas reindeer
One of the more interesting postcards is the one with a kit for making a deer head. A flat postcard can be put into any envelope, and the details of the model are easily separated from the sheet and assembled according to the instructions. Of course, given that the model is flat, you may need to change the 3D printing settings. Model designer Tony Short suggests printing at 100% infill and 0.2mm resolution, printing the bottom layer slower than usual. In addition to 3D printing models, Short included files to create a postcard using laser cutting. nine0003
Small holiday lamps
It is difficult to imagine the New Year without festive lighting. One example is small lamps that can be 3D printed. They will also require a CR2032 battery, a 5mm LED, a switch and a soldering iron to assemble.
