Customizable battery powered Christmas tree bauble. Featuring Snowman and illuminating Lamppost.
Print instructions
I've designed to bauble to use as little supports as possible. There are only 2 files that require supports: Top and Bottom. The Lamppost doesn't require supports if printed in an upright (vertical) position. Although, I prefer to print it flat (horizontal) with supports as this gives a much better finish.
The GCODE files have been supplied for the Top and Bottom of the bauble. For best results, these are printed on a 2 layer Raft with Supports. I've also included the GCODE for the battery cover as this looks best printed upright (vertical) with a 3-4mm Brim for additional support. Printing the battery cover upright ensures the layers match that of the bauble.
