2018 Happy New Year Fun Glasses

thingiverse

These are an evolution of my 2016 New Year's Glasses, which were showcased in several online 3D printing magazines and websites. They utilize the same rugged arms with hinges, making them easy on the nose and ears. I've also included two arm versions: standard length (most common) and longer ones. If you want to paint numbers in different colors, print the glasses in white material for a good color base. I printed the arms using black PLA at 220 degrees Celsius and a 45-degree bed temperature. The glasses themselves were printed with white PETG at 235 degrees Celsius and a 100-degree bed temperature. A 10% fill is recommended, and no supports are needed as they're already included in the uploaded STL file. Remember to cut off the excess before inserting the arms. CA or gorilla glue is required to secure the arms in place.
