Ornament Printing Ornament

thingiverse

My printer probably gets the most use in November and December in decorating for the holidays. Every year, I end up making new cookie cutters, printing trees to stash around the apartment, and, of course, making ornaments for family. It only makes sense that the printer itself gets featured in this unique ornament.This design is loosely based off of the Ultimaker machines since the 2023 ornament challenge was the original inspiration to make some fresh designs. A small, traditional ornament is included as the creation of this little printer, but it should be easy to adapt any creation to put inside (just scale down and emboss a hexagon 5.75mm across and 2mm deep). The "hooks" are just scrap pieces of filament with a drop of glue on each end. Change the colors for what you have on hand or to match the holiday spirit.I'm hoping to add a second option for a more standard, unenclosed printer design and some more baubles to put inside the printer when I get back home from the holidays (or at least before next Christmas).Happy Holidays!
