Santa Hat - Christmas decoration that fits onto the top of a bottle of Bubbly!

thingiverse

Great Christmas decoration idea! The Santa Hat design is a clever fit for a bottle of bubbly or wine, perfect for dressing up your drink during the festive season. You can put it on before opening the bottle, making it an easy way to get into the holiday spirit. The unique internal shape ensures the hat sits slightly back when placed on an open bottle. It's like a little Santa's crown that brings a smile to everyone's face! But wait, there's more! This design is not just for show - you can also use it as a simple decorative piece long after the festive season has ended. All you need to do is adjust the Raft Base to 1mm and watch the colors change from white to red at approximately 16mm (about 39%) on your Replicator 2. Then, from red back to white at around 73mm (about 92%). At standard size, the hole in the base will print out to be approximately 32.5mm in diameter, providing a loose fit onto any wine bottle and a snug one for bubbly bottles still with their wire and foil intact. Want to give it a try on other bottles like beer bottles? Easy! Just resize it to suit your needs. Some important notes to keep in mind: we've added two additional STL files - alt_support and no_support - due to the different capabilities of various slicing apps/machines. If you're using one that struggles with the original file's fine support design, use the alt_support option instead. And don't forget, once printed, remove any supports carefully as they may not come off cleanly. Automated support is highly recommended when printing from no_support. We'd love to see what creations you come up with using this Santa Hat design! Share your photos and give others inspiration during the festive season. Happy printing! To print, use a Raft Base of approximately 1mm and leave Supports "OFF". Set your printer to Standard (0.20mm) resolution with three shells and 15% fill. For those Replicator 2 users out there, don't forget to allow for that 1mm change in Raft Base and enjoy the colors change from white to red at approximately 16mm and then back to white at around 73mm. All you need to do now is print this delightful Santa Hat design, carefully remove any supports, and get ready to impress your friends with a fun Christmas decoration that's sure to spread some festive cheer!
