Max 4 colors per plate, so it fits any 4-slot AMS or 4-color printer. Material: PLA. Molds in any color (I use black). The bauble in beige, with red for the Nordic pattern and the hanger. Molds: approx. 52 g, 1 h 10 min. Plain bauble: approx. 6 g, 25 min. With details: approx. 9 g, 34 min. (Print times vary by printer.) The nets are printed as an open gyroid mesh: 0 top and 0 bottom layers, 2 walls, 30 % gyroid infill. The details are printed on top of the net (0 walls, 70 % infill). How to make it Print the molds once. (I use PLA and it works great) Print a set of nets, the nut and the clip (plate 2 or 3). Place a flat net in the bottom mold with the raised rim facing down into the groove. Heat the net with a hair dryer for about 8 to 10 seconds until it is soft. (Be quick) Press the top mold down firmly and hold it until the net has cooled. Remove the formed half. Repeat with the second net, so you have a front and a back. Fill with candy, put the two halves together with the flat sides facing each other, and screw the nut onto the stem on top of the bauble (the nut is the cap and the hanger of the bauble). Push the clip over the strip at the bottom to lock the halves together. Hang it on the tree or hand it out! Tips Small chocolates and wrapped candies fit perfectly. A sweet advent or table gift. No AMS? Print plate 2 in beige, or in red for a classic red bauble. Print a few nets in different colors and hang a whole set of baubles on the tree. Support me Like my models? Support me on Patreon.
