Please head over to my Makerworld profile for the files and my other design. This will support my work. Many thanks and sorry for the inconvenient. https://makerworld.com/en/u/3720285194Illuminate your Christmas tree with these ball-shaped ornaments. Print them in various colors, transparent, silk or matte finishes, glow-in-the-dark, and more.They house an LED tealight candle inside with a screw-on mechanism.Here's what you need to print:1) The ornament ball (Plain, cage, spiral, voronoi, moon, earth, etc.)2) A universal cap (Voronoi, moon, and earth have their own caps because they are special ;) )3) A universal screw cage4) A string bead (optional)Moon and earth ball details are best presented with a lower layer height (=<0.2), but I find 0.25 (using a 0.4 nozzle) compromises between print time and details. Other ornament balls can be printed with a layer height of 0.3 for a faster print. All models do not require support, except for the spiral ball; it is too springy without support.After printing the necessary parts, snap-fit the screw cage to the cap (gluing is not necessary). Then, place an LED tealight in the screw cage and screw it onto the ornament ball. For the earth ball, if you notice that Chile and Argentina lost their tails, turn the screw-on cage 180 degrees and reinsert it onto the cap.Both the moon ball and earth ball were generated using high-resolution NASA images.I hope you enjoy my Christmas tree ornaments :) Have a wonderful holiday!
