Print it in time
- Start a week ahead. Most gifts here print in an hour or two, but a failed first try, a second colour or a batch for the whole family adds up.
- Print one first. Check the name is easy to read and the loop is strong, then print the rest together: most beds fit six to nine ornaments.
- Two colours on any printer. In your slicer, add a filament change (a pause) at the first layer of the name, 3 mm up, and swap the spool when it stops.
- Small letters: bold fonts and letters 4 mm or taller print cleanly with a 0.4 mm nozzle. For long names, make the ornament bigger.
- Hanging: the 4 mm hole takes a ribbon or an ornament hook. Thread it before wrapping.
Questions
How do I make a personalised Christmas ornament to 3D print?
Type the name at the top of this page, pick a bauble, star, tree or heart, choose the colours and download the STL or a two-colour 3MF. It's free and nothing is uploaded.
How do I print the name in a different colour?
Download the 3MF: the name is its own part. On a printer with an AMS or MMU, give it a second filament. On a single-colour printer, add a filament change in your slicer at the layer where the name starts (3 mm up).
What filament looks best for ornaments?
Silk or metallic PLA makes names and rims shine; red, green, white and gold are the classic pairs. For a photo ornament (a lithophane), use plain white PLA.
How long does an ornament take to print?
A 70 mm name ornament takes about 30 to 60 minutes at normal settings. Photo lithophanes are slower, a couple of hours or more, because they print at fine layers.
