Christmas Baubles (Single extruder multi-colour)

thingiverse

Four sparkling ornaments for your tree! These ornaments use layering to create a two-colour or three-colour decoration for your tree with no special equipment and no mid-job filament changes required. I highly recommend a layer height of 0.2mm, as that's what the layers are designed for, and 10% fill is more than enough. No support material or raft needed. To print the snowflake ornament, for example: Print GraphicSnowflake.stl in white with a one-perimeter brim. Leave it on the print bed. Next, print BaubleSnowflake in your chosen colour with your usual skirt settings (i.e., as you normally print). Once done, carefully remove and thread with cotton to complete your decoration. The candy cane ornament is similar but has three colours, so it involves printing white, then red, and finally the colour of your choice without removing anything from the print bed. Enjoy your new tree decorations! I added a one-layer box around each of the layered prints to ensure proper alignment. This way, when your slicer centres the job, it won't mess up the alignment, but the slicer will start with the outer box, ensuring the filament flows properly before 'colouring in' begins.
