Welcome to **Day 1** of **24 Days of Christmas!**

From December 1st to December 24th, I will be uploading 1 Christmas-themed model a day to spread the holiday cheer throughout the entire month in an advent-calendar style release schedule. Check out the rest of the models [here.](https://than.gs/c/102293?affiliateCode=alex)

**Day 1**
What better way to start than a Christmas countdown? This fun piece of decor has two numbered blocks you can move every day to count down to Christmas Day. It prints in several separate pieces that can be easily assembled together.

**Printing & Assembly**
Supports are required. I recommend "tree supports on build plate only" to support the number regions on the blocks, as well as the chimney hole in the house and roof. These areas won't be visible after assembly.

To print the "Days 'Til Christmas" sign, you can either use an AMS for the letters, or manually switch out the filament color at that layer.

**Glue is required.** I increased tolerances a little to ensure the numbers would always fit, so they might be slightly loose.
