Model Overview & Print Notes

Summary

An Ornament For Those Who Were Born To 3D Print…
There's only one thing better than 3D printing- 3D printing parts of a 3D printer. It wouldn't be the holiday season without some festivities, and the Spool Ornament is here to help. It's time to show your inner nerd, and with this ornament, you can present to the world (Or just those in your living room…) the greatest hobby there ever was!

-Support for hanging loop recommended.

-Use string or a paper clip for hanging.

-Print the "Filament-Single-Color" in a bright plastic for best results.

Remove brim and support material after printing, then locate the larger spool piece. Slide the filament onto the larger spool piece, applying force as needed. finally, slide the smaller spool piece onto the larger one. They should fit together relatively snuggly, though use glue as needed!

How I Designed This

More Fusion Tinkering

            <div><p>In late November, I was tasked with creating the ultimate keychain through an engineering course. Truly, the rules were quite lenient. 2x2 inches or below, don't copy others, and it must be printable on an FDM machine. The same week, I had too much time on my hands- for this very reason, I decided to turn it up to 11! Hence, I present the Filament Spool Ornament. As a modern symbol of manufacturing, I decided that it was only appropriate to design a part of the very machine we would use to produce these keychains.<br>Better yet, I got an A.<br>But why let all this hard work go to waste in a folder of old assignments?<br>I have decided to share all individual designs from my new 3D printer Keychains collection. With a little scaling (Which I have already done) these make excellent Christmas tree ornaments!<br>Please, Happy Printing, and Even Happier Holidays!</p></div>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/df/bc/8e/d7/b0/0d2d4636-eddb-4d2f-b2c5-10d3ac32d141.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>In-Canvas Render of Filament Spool Ornament</strong></p>
