###Not to be Sold **I'm sharing my files so that you can make them for yourselves or give them away as gifts. I hope you enjoy them. I do not authorize sale of my work by anyone. Please don't ask me.** ###Summary Another fun and different ornament for the holidays! This is part of my [Christmas Collection](https://www.thingiverse.com/dazus/collections/christmas-collection). ###Challenging Print If you just got your first 3D printer and are looking for your first thing to print, this isn't it. Using the settings I recommend below, an experienced maker should be able to get a good print without many failed attempts. Be **very careful** when you remove the supports. The spiral arms of the print are delicate. Looking for an easier print? Try my [Open Lattice Christmas Bell](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5606663). It's a similar design, but requires a lot less support and is a lot less likely to break during printing. ###Common Printing Problems Assuming you use the print settings I recommended below, here are some common problems and possible fixes: * Mushy print: Reduce print temp. * Comes off bed: Increase raft size. Reduce print speed. * Print looks rough: Reduce print speed. * Breaks during printing: Reduce print speed and print temperature. If you can, increase cooling. Add more supports. ###Print Time With my settings, it took about 3.5 hours.
