3DMart wishes everyone a Merry Christmas! Don't be sad if you don't have a holiday, 3D printing will heal your heart! This Christmas reindeer is super simple, uses very little material, and is super cost-effective. Print it right away to celebrate Christmas.
The reindeer is an assembly model, first printed flat and then DIY assembled; we used an Ultimaker 3 for dual-material printing. Its dual nozzle system can simultaneously print PVA support material and a PLA body.
What about the red nose? This time, we directly printed the red nose part separately; you can choose not to use PVA as a base or simply use dual-color printing.
After 3D printing is complete, place the finished product in water to dissolve. Doesn't it resemble the assembly toys from milk tablets we had as kids? The difference is that now with a 3D printer, you can create more complex structures and assemblies yourself.
Without further ado, let's unpack the editor's new gift. After cutting all the components, you'll get these assembly pieces. Don't worry if you cut them incorrectly, just print another set with Ultimaker!
First, assemble the reindeer's nose bridge, red nose, and neck mane onto one side of the face panel; the nose bridge has some clever structural design, using 3D printing to create variations in thickness that allow the material to bend slightly.
Then attach the antlers and the back panel, and it's done! Isn't it super easy? How can we have a red-nosed reindeer without a Christmas tree?
In addition, we printed another Christmas tree using the Ultimaker S5, performing dual-color printing with red and green Tough PLA. The new colors are saturated and bright, easily creating a Christmas atmosphere. Functionally, it offers higher strength and more stable printing than regular PLA.
With the Ultimaker S5's dual nozzle system, dual-color printing can be completed in one go, so decorations and body components no longer need to be printed separately!
After the Christmas tree body was completed, we further printed a Christmas star that required support for decoration. With the Christmas tree and the red-nosed reindeer together, you can have a happy Christmas even at your desk!
The size of half an A4 sheet is also very suitable as a small personal gift! Everyone can even design their own personalized greeting cards to give, which are both beautiful and fun! Adding magnets also makes them practical office items that can be attached to partitions or refrigerators to hold notes or business cards.
We hope you enjoyed the Christmas items shared today and have a happy Christmas! We will continue to share new prints and events, so feel free to follow our Facebook page or the latest news on our official website!
