Santa Nutcracker with mounting groove

thingiverse

My family is utterly enthralled with nutcrackers. Every Christmas season, our house transforms into a veritable winter wonderland adorned with over thirty of these festive figures. This particular design was conceived specifically to be attached to an elderly family member's walker, hence the deliberate inclusion of a groove and channels for zip ties. Initially, I had envisioned this nutcracker as a single piece, but upon further reflection, I realized that I could significantly reduce support materials by separating the arms and legs, then reattaching them using pins and super glue. The plan is to paint him in the style depicted in the provided photo and top him off with fake fur for the beard and cap trim. I haven't printed this nutcracker yet, but I'll be sure to share some photos once he's complete.
