Watch this video for more information and to see them in action: https://youtu.be/2W8YSOQ2y48 These ornaments are traditional holiday decorations. You can add a hook or string through the loop hole to hang them on anything you like. My wife and I also painted these ones. We'll have a video up soon that will go into more detail on the process we took. At a high level, we sanded them using medium to ultra-fine grit sandpaper, then sprayed plastic primer on them, followed by a coat of spray paint in any color you want. We chose mostly silver and gold. These ornaments could be used as a fun craft/art project for kids. Because they can paint them with acrylics too. So they can design their own ornaments while learning about 3D printing. To print them, you'll need the file called "normal-bottom", which is the bottom half. You'll also need to print the connectors. Then you can top it off with either the side hanging tab or the top hanging tab. It took me about an hour and a half to print all three at 0.3mm layer height. Once printed, you can snap them together by inserting the connectors into the little slots on the bottom of each half of the ornament, then pressing them together. 3D Printed Ornaments (Snap Together) by ChaosCoreTech is licensed under Creative Commons - Attribution license.
