[3D Printing] Find Them on MakerWorld! 7 Free Christmas Designs to Download
Instead of generic store-bought decorations, why not create your own unique ornaments this year?
This article introduces a curated selection of Christmas models that will inspire you to put your 3D printer to full use.
So, grab your red and green filament, and let's start printing!
At first glance, this model, which begins with spaghetti-like filament, might make you think "print failed?" However, it's a very clever design that utilizes "droop technology."
The filament rings, printed without supports, realistically reproduce the dense texture of conifer needles. The finished tree is surprisingly dense and perfect for decorating your dining table or desk.
The latest 4th generation includes a base for increased stability. Four sizes are available, from 90mm to 250mm. While standard PLA looks good, silk filament or metallic green will add a more brilliant shine.
Instead of a regular paper card, why not give a 3D printed creation? This "kit card," which can be printed flat, contains all the parts needed to assemble a mini tree.
It's perfect for a small gift for friends or colleagues, allowing the recipient to enjoy the fun of detaching and assembling the parts.
It prints in under an hour and features a glue-free, interlocking design. After printing, the trick is to remove it from the plate only after it has completely cooled. While single-color prints are great, adding snow-white with multi-color printing (AMS) will further enhance the quality.
If you want to enjoy the contrast of light and shadow, this meshed tree is highly recommended. The geometric mesh looks elegant during the day, and when an internal light is lit at night, it creates a magical atmosphere.
It's designed to hold LED tealights (electronic candles), projecting beautiful patterns onto its surroundings.
It comes in three sizes: 14cm, 18cm, and 22cm. It can be printed without supports, but due to the mesh structure, many retractions will occur, so make sure your filament is thoroughly dry before attempting this print. *For fire safety, always use LED lights.
This design tells a story, with a small village spread across each layer of the tree's branches. There's a railway at the base of the trunk where you can run a mini train.
The interior is hollow, allowing for LED lights to be installed. The designer's recommended settings are 0.2mm layer height, 2 wall lines, and 8% infill. These settings allow the internal light to diffuse nicely.
This set features four adorable Nordic gnomes, each with a different hat and beard shape. Simply placing them will bring a warm, Nordic winter atmosphere to your room.
They are designed to be printed upright, allowing for fine textures to be reproduced. Some support is required, but the shape is optimized for easy removal.
Printing in a single color (especially gold) gives them a very luxurious feel. They are recommended for decorating the base of your tree or as an entryway ornament.
This LED candle holder features a humorous "melting snowman" design. Since it can be printed in separate parts, it's easy to color-code even without an AMS (Automatic Material System).
Assembly is simple: just insert the arms, hat, and carrot nose into the body. It's a perfect gift and easy for beginners to make.
Mario and Luigi, dressed in Santa costumes, bring retro gaming magic to your desk. Perfect for Nintendo fans or as decoration for your gaming setup.
The models are split into parts, resulting in a beautiful surface finish and high satisfaction after assembly. Using the Bambu Lab AMS allows for vibrant multi-color details without painting.
