3D Printed Christmas Decorations

1. C-3PO Flake Decoration

We couldn’t miss this cute Star Wars-inspired snowflake for 3D printing. The tree decoration is perfect for those who are under the power of Rogue One frenzy.

The easy part is that the C-3PO snowflake will print in only 25-30 min and will use little material – about 15 g. A good idea would be to print them in a glowing-in-the-dark material. Your Christmas tree will look very fancy.

2. Christmas Flame Tree Topper

Dress your tree in out-of-the-ordinary decorations.

Star toppers are common. A flame topper is a new approach to tree decoration. The maker recommends printing it in two different colors, which will make it more realistic.

3. LED Christmas Tree

This 3D printed LED Christmas tree might seem tricky to build, but it actually isn’t. You will need to 3D print the tree and buy 24 small LED lamps of different colors, a switch, and a power supply.

The tree decoration will print in about 700 minutes and you will need about 100 g of printing material.
