Hudson Hands

I'm looking forward to sharing my step-by-step tutorial with you after the holidays, when I'll show how I created a heartfelt gift with my son's hands. Every year, we make crafts together that become treasured family heirlooms. It's one of my favorite holiday traditions - watching my sons grow and develop their own unique talents. This handmade charm is a keepsake made from the actual print of my son's hands. When I was finished, I let him get creative with auto-air paint, a non-toxic water-based paint that's perfect for kids like mine to use on plastic surfaces. I attached chains to make it a lovely gift for our loved ones. My 4-year-old son had an amazing time helping me create this simple and quick print, which was perfect for his skill level. **Print Settings** * Printer Brand: Robo 3D * Printer Model: R1 PLA Model * Rafts: No * Supports: No * Resolution: Low * Infill: 10% * Notes: If your printer isn't calibrated, it may struggle to print the fingers and holes. I used PLA for this project.
