Are you looking for a digital download project for Christmas? Perhaps Etsy’s Blood Moon Forge Art and STL files for 3d printers can help.
The Christmas Krampus reviews well, as does the store.
One catch, though, is that the files are too large for Etsy, so you do not get an immediate download. Instead, Lee, the owner of Blood Moon Forge, emails you a Mega URL to download the print instructions from, and if you distrust Mega, alternative arrangements can be made. However, that’s all delays.
Both the supported and unsupported variants of the design are available in STL. Once you have them, though, you do not have the right to resell them.
Blood Moon Forge offers other seasonal and geeky files, and each is a personal project.
Christmas 3D printing project ideas
Geeks will be getting 3d printers for Christmas gifts, and Krampus and friends may well be a perfect project. If not, here are some other ideas.
Easy:
- Classic Christmas ornaments: Snowflakes, stars, baubles, gingerbread houses, reindeer silhouettes – endless possibilities! You can find tons of free files online at Thingiverse and MyMiniFactory.
- Customizable cookie cutters: Design and print unique cookie cutters in the shape of Santa, snowflakes, trees, or characters from your favourite Christmas movie.
- Gift box toppers: Add a personalised touch to your wrapped presents with 3D-printed toppers featuring names, initials, or festive symbols.
- Name tags and place settings: Create stunning name tags and settings with festive fonts and designs for your Christmas dinner table.
Medium:
- Articulated Christmas characters: Santas, snowmen, elves, reindeer – all with moving arms and legs! These make great decorations or playful gifts.
- Light-up decorations: Print lanterns, stars, or Christmas villages that can be illuminated with LED lights for a magical glow.
- Interactive puzzles and games: Design and print fun Christmas-themed puzzles, like Advent calendars with hidden compartments or 3D mazes.
- Snow globes: Create custom snow globes with miniature Christmas scenes inside, a great personalized gift or a charming addition to your holiday décor.
Advanced:
- Musical Christmas creations: Print instruments like flutes or carols, attach servos and code them to play Christmas tunes!
