About these christmas ornaments and decorations

Everything here is a finished decoration, not a mold: you print it and hang it on the tree or set it on a shelf. The flat ornaments print in one piece in about half an hour, face up with no supports, and the letters and trim stand a millimetre proud so one filament change gives them a second colour. The round baubles print as two halves on their flat faces, line up on short pins cut from filament and take a standard metal ornament cap, like a glass one.

The houses are the bigger project: a gingerbread house that comes as ten flat panels with the icing printed on, glued together in an afternoon, and a one-piece cottage that glows over an LED tealight. Never put a real candle in a printed house; PLA softens long before a flame is done with it.

Every design was made with one of our free Christmas generators, so if you want a different name, word, shape or colour, open the tool from the design page, change it and download your own in about a minute.

Questions

Christmas ornaments and decorations: common questions

Which filament looks best for a printed Christmas ornament?

Silk PLA for anything round, since it catches the tree lights like glass, and a matte PLA for the flat name ornaments, where the letters read better without the shine. Red, gold, white and navy all read as Christmas from across the room.

How do I hang a 3D printed ornament on the tree?

The flat ornaments have a loop at the top for a ribbon, twine or a wire ornament hook. The round baubles have a neck that takes a standard metal ornament cap, the same as a glass bauble, so any ornament hook fits.

Will a 3D printed ornament survive being packed away every year?

Yes, far better than glass. PLA keeps its shape and colour in a box in the loft for years; just keep it out of a hot car or a sunny window in summer, where PLA can soften.
