Advent Calender

Post by mhackney »

I remember seeing this a few years ago on RichRap's blog. I had it in the back of my mind to make one someday. That "day" was this year! The tree is 25 pieces, 2 for the star and 25 gifts. I redesigned a few of the of gifts as the originals did not print well (the train and candy cane). I used the color change technique on the fire, cookie plate, candy cane and wood filled PLA on the gingerbread man and house and SeeMeCNC Bronze on the bell and maypole. 25 different colors of PLA in all. It stands about 2' tall. Here's the source: Advent Calendar.

Neat, a 3D printed tree! Where do you find the time, are you sure that you are not on 36 hour days?
