Prusa Mk3 1:4 scale xmas ornament

As part of a thrilling holiday contest to design an enchanting Christmas ornament, I chose to craft a 1:4 scale replica of my trusty Mk3 printer. This scaled-down marvel is remarkably accurate dimensionally (although not perfect, with some creative liberties taken to ensure printability). The intricate model was carefully designed in Fusion 360, using no re-scaled parts from the original Prusa models, as most would be impractical for printing. Miraculously, no supports are necessary for any components! The assembly process should be straightforward and easy to follow, with all rods crafted from silver 1.75mm filament and cables made from black 1.75mm filament. Be warned: you'll need plenty of superglue and steady hands to assemble and glue the parts together (I highly recommend using a lighted magnifier for this task). All part dimensions have been optimized for a 0.4mm nozzle (0.45mm line width) at a 0.2mm layer height, ensuring a seamless print. You can likely achieve acceptable results with a smaller nozzle, but I wouldn't suggest attempting anything larger. For my ornament, I utilized: FusionFilaments.com Carbon Rod Black HTPLA+ for the frame, Solutech Navy Blue filament to match my printer's original colors, and FusionFilaments.com Cold Fusion Blue for the LCD screen.
