About this design
Eight geometric holiday ornaments with straight-edged facets: flat snowflakes and stars, slot-together 3D stars, a snowflake that spins inside a ring, a snap-together flake, a tiered compass star and a name star. Each one is 72 to 91 mm across and has a hanging loop.
- C1 Hex Crystal Flake: one piece, raised gold layer.
- C2 Layered Frost Star: two stacked layers on a hex peg.
- C3 Cross-Lap Star: two stars that slot together at 90 degrees.
- C4 Trinity Star: three stars that slot together at 60 degrees (assemble C, then B, then A).
- C5 Orbit Spinner: a snowflake on two pin axles inside a ring, so it turns in a draught.
- C6 Snap Flake: a snowflake front that snaps onto a hexagon back.
- C7 Name Star: comes with a sample name (NOEL) and a blank name plate that fits about 7 letters.
- C8 Tiered Compass Star: three stacked tiers on a square peg.
Everything prints flat in PLA with no supports. Two colours: for C1 and C7, change filament at Z 3.0 mm (PrusaSlicer files include the change), and the multi-part ornaments are colour by part. PETG is advised for the C6 Snap Flake, because the snap is borderline in PLA.
Your own name on C7 (optional): in PrusaSlicer 2.6 or newer, add a negative text volume to the blank plate, about 8.5 mm tall and 1.0 mm deep, and keep it to about 7 letters. The guide has the steps. Custom names are not CAD-checked.
You get 9 ready-to-print 3MF plates (one per ornament, both Name Star versions), 18 STL part files for any slicer, a PDF guide with settings, colour change and assembly steps, and a spec sheet.
CAD-checked, not print-tested: fits, clearances and walls were checked in CAD on the exported files, and grams and times are PrusaSlicer estimates. Press fits are sized for a calibrated printer; sand a slot if it is tight, add a drop of glue if it is loose.
Just want one? The Hex Crystal Flake (C1) is also free on its own.
Small parts, not for children under 3. PLA softens at about 55 to 60 C, so keep the ornaments away from hot bulbs and heaters.
