Christmas Stocking Hangers

I was looking for something a bit more stylish than tape or blue tack to hang the stockings on the fireplace. So, I designed these weighted Christmas Stocking Hangers. To avoid repetition on your fireplace, I created five different anchor variants: HO HO HO, SANTA, JOY, NOEL, and Mix Anchor. The anchors feature two 30mm diameter voids inside them, allowing you to drop coins or washers in during printing to add weight, and they all work with the same hook. The hook is best printed on its side to add inherent strength to the extruded lines and features a nice push fit, making it unnecessary to use glue. I printed mine using Fillamentum Signal Red / Green Grass with Gold Happens Details. I took advantage of Cura's pause at height feature, pausing my print at 20.5mm high with 0.15mm layer heights. The results were excellent. Printing on my CR-10 was a breeze, and I encountered no issues with either the visible or internal bridges. I hope you enjoy these weighted stocking hangers, and if you decide to make one, please post pictures – I'd love to see how they turn out. Merry Christmas!
