  • The nose may need a little sanding for best fit depending on your 3d printer accuracy.
  • Hot glue nose in place BEFORE putting the hat on but test fit hat before gluing nose.
  • When gluing nose, use glue only on torso/nose contact point to avoid creating a line of glue that can interfere with hat position 
  • After glue is set, fill with candy or nuts and put the hat on your Christmas gnome.
