A fun, elegant, and quick print for Christmas based on traditional finial designs. YAY! It's DONE!New: Photo of the ornament printed in glow in the dark filament.I originally published this as a work in progress. After extensive testing including changes to the STLs, it's finally done. Since I originally published this, I've increased the width of the bottom stem by 10%. It's barely perceptible, but it improved the final print quality. I've also changed where I cut the model - from the center of the large ball to just below the large ball. This made it a lot easier to align the two pieces and made the seam almost invisible. It also proved to be a challenge to print, but I'm very happy with the final print quality. I've included my PrusaSlicer 3MF files and GCODE for a Prusa MK3S+. That said, this is not an easy print. If you're new to printing, maybe this isn't the right model for you just yet. If you're experienced, try my files or, if you love a challenge, create your own. NOTE: The 3MF and GCODE files include GCODE that drops the temperature in stages down to 180c. You may need to adjust the print temp for your filament and printer.I've included STLs of both designs as both 1 piece and 2 pieces. Both 2-piece designs use the same bottom half. So, there are 2 files for the tops and 1 for the bottom.With my settings, it takes about 6 hours to print the straight version of this design and about 45 minutes more to print the spiral version.
