Initialled Stocking Hangers

thingiverse

Someone commissioned me to design Christmas stocking hangers with unique initials that are notoriously hard to find. I custom-designed the J & R letters exactly as requested and printed them using Colorfabb Corkfill, finishing with a touch of luxurious copper leaf gilding. As a festive gift for everyone, I also created every single letter of the alphabet so you can enjoy making your own Christmas stocking hangers. Each hanger requires a base plate that slots into place after printing, but if you want a more robust setup, you should glue them together for added stability. To secure the hangers to a fireplace mantle or window sill, simply use a 3M Command Strip or any equivalent removable adhesive product. The letter designs are based on a modified version of the beautiful Sreada typeface by Elena Kowalski. If you'd like, download it yourself and get creative with your own Christmas stocking hanger project! **Printer Settings** * Printer Brand: Ultimaker * Printer: Ultimaker 2 * Rafts: None used in this print job * Supports: Used throughout the print for stability * Resolution: I opted for a higher resolution of 0.25 to save on printing time * Infill: + For the hook portion, 70% or more is recommended for strength and durability + For the rest of the design, 25% infill provides enough structural integrity **Notes** I've included the main plate that all letters connect to so you can create your own unique designs. Make sure your shapes are no taller than 18mm high to ensure a seamless integration. Post-printing is simple: parts will easily slot into place without any issues, and for added peace of mind, they can be glued together if necessary. Attach them securely to a surface using non-damaging sticky adhesive pads that won't cause any damage.
