A green honeycomb bauble with a name and the year raised in white, a keepsake printed in two halves.

A keepsake bauble that dates itself: an 83 mm green ball with a raised honeycomb pattern all over, a smooth round panel on the front with "Lily" in white script over "2026", and a neck on top for a standard metal ornament cap. It prints in two flat halves that line up on filament pins, with no supports anywhere. Make a new one every year and the tree tells the story.
Made with our free bauble designer, not modelled by hand: we picked the ball shape, the Hex pattern and "Lily" over "2026" in the Retro Script font, in the green and white colour set. Everything else is the tool's default. The zip holds the 3MF exactly as the tool exports it for a free account, every part in its own colour; every current slicer opens it, and on a one-colour printer it prints in one colour. Like every free download from the tool, it carries a small MESHCAST mark where it does not show.
Print the two halves on their flat faces, push filament pins into one, glue the rims and fit a metal ornament cap in the neck. It hangs like a glass bauble and survives being dropped.
Shown as a 3D render of the printed bauble, its two halves put together, not a photo.
Print both halves on their flat cut faces, dome up, as exported. No supports.
Cut 5.5 mm pieces of 1.75 mm filament and push one into each pin hole of one half.
Put a thin line of superglue gel on the rim and press the halves together on the pins.
Fit a standard metal ornament cap into the neck and hang it.

New to this? Read the bauble designer guide.
Open the free bauble designer from this page, pick the ball and the Hex pattern, and type the name on the first line and the year on the second. Both lines shrink to fit the panel on the front, so a long name works too.
About 4 h 30 min and 97 g of PLA at 0.2 mm layers, estimated from the files rather than sliced, so a current printer is often faster. The two halves print side by side on their flat faces with no supports.
It is 83 by 83 mm and 85 mm tall. To change that, open the free bauble designer from this page and move the size slider; the rest of the design follows, and you download the new file in a minute.
