Mary & Joseph travel to Bethlehem

thingiverse

On this advent calendar, Mary & Joseph move along a backdrop to Bethlehem. The backdrop displays portions of the Nativity story. This was created in Tinkercad with remixed portions of these: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4970675, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2815054, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4271316, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2688919, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1989348. The backdrop is in three pieces that fit together snugly but can still be taken apart for storage. Since they are meant to be silhouettes, I suggest a dark color, though you may want to include a lighter layer so the numbers stand out more (switching back to the dark color for the last layers). I had the most success with these pieces when I printed with a brim. Mary/Joseph and the Star do not need brims or supports, so it is your choice. The small back piece gets glued to the back of Mary and Joseph at your desired height. Print the small back piece with 90% infill, because it can use the extra weight to support Mary & Joseph. All other pieces can be done at 20% infill.
