Lovely Christmas Countdown

Christmas is coming, soon. Time to print this Advent Countdown This makes the time to wait til Christmas smaller and smaller. I have started by reviewing the Santa Claus Advent Calender of Elproducts (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2683172). This was pretty good but I thought it could be improved a bit. Here’s what a I did: I love color in models. So I have disassemled the single block in seperate pieces. A base in red, hair, beard and hat-parts in white and a really cute looking face in smart pink. Finally I have added to small cheeks. Lovely, isn’t he? I have resized the model a bit for my needs. With the first model I had trouble with keep it standing. So I have designed a stand attached at the back for more stability. I didn’t like having some text on this cute hat. So I have designed a sign with text and which is attached to the back of Santa. You can easily see, I’m German. So I have added an english version of the text for you to print and arrange on the sign. The supports on the letters are pretty helpful for positioning and glueing. After a few hours they can be removed easily with a small cutting tool. I thought, some gold should be there anywhere. I chose to use the dices tot o be more shiny. Flomhw has ceated numbers fort he dices in past: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3268552 Many thx for that! I started with these modesl, but it was bit tricky to rezise and make optimal for a final assembly. In rare cases you may need some afterwork. Nevermind, you’ll love it. Promise! For sure, some glue is required on diverse steps. HAVE FUN and MERRY X-MAS
