You wanted to start a conversation without being too aggressive, right? Let's move that conversation by the fireplace and crack open some nuts while talking about the creative world of 3D printing. You can tell people that Santa gave it to you after his sleigh crashed on your lawn when you were ten, and how it holds the evil spirit of Krampus. You can even hear faint screams and whistles as well as jingling bells coming from inside the nutcracker. The printer used was the FlashForge Creator Pro. I opted for using rafts to ensure a solid foundation, which is great considering the intricate design involved in this 3D printed project. Supports were also generated to add stability during the printing process. An infill of 15 percent ensured that the part remains relatively strong and light. The printer used was the FlashForge Creator Pro. Rafts helped secure the model with its base. It is an intricate structure with thin details, requiring extra precautions like the usage of supports.
