About this 3D model

For your tree trimming this year, here is a set of four spinning Christmas ornaments. The rings spin freely around familiar Christmas scenes: an evergreen tree, an angel, a snowman, and a cozy house. No AMS needed for multi-colour rings; they can be printed separately! Mix and match colours to your heart's content! All ornaments are AMS ready and pre-painted Solid colour versions are included as well and look just as good! Trouble? Questions? Comments? Please don't hesitate to get in touch! Merry Christmas! Printing Tips Print Settings: My print profiles contain all my recommended settings (see below for more detail) as well as plates for: Full multicolour ornaments and rings Separate multicolour scenes Separate solid colour scenes Separate Ring sets Filament: The ornaments look nicest when printed with Silk or Sparkle filaments (see About the Model below for brands/colours that I used) Purge volumes: I've calibrated them to reduce waste, but you may need to recalculate for your own filament Plate: A textured plate is recommended because of the texture it gives to the bottom of the ornaments. Be sure your plate is extra clean to ensure success because the rings have a small footprint. Ironing: ironing makes the top surface look nicer but can add a lot of time to the print. Feel free to experiment with it if you'd like a better top finish. Separating the Rings Separate the rings by rotating the ring (or scene) perpendicular to the rest of the ornament. Grab the edge and gently pull down. It should flex and release from the retaining hole at the top. To combine the rings, simply reverse the process. Print Settings Elephant foot compensation: 0 (it helps the rings stick better because they already have a narrow footprint) Wall loops: 4 (to make stronger rings surface) Detect thin walls: On (fills in better) First layer speed: 15 mm/s (helps things stick better and not be dragged) Brim: none About the Model There's something magical about print-in-place models. Many a time I've shown someone a box with a hinge and they were amazed. “What do you mean it was printed in one piece?!?” Since I also love Christmas, I thought I would combine the two types of magic and create a kinetic ornament.
