Ah, the holidays. A time for family, and about as much relaxation as you can manage while the kids are out of school and fueled on a daily dose of seasonal chocolate from their advent calendars.

Your 3D printer can help (somewhat), with quick prints that provide a daily dose of fun. 3D printed advent gifts, if you will.

All month until December 25th we’re bringing you All3DP Unwrapped: daily highlights of quick and easy toys that you can 3D print over the holiday season. We’re sure to dig up something fun for you, whether it’s a daily advent toy, gifts for the holiday celebrated by your family, or just a micro project for yourself. Check it out!

Not that you’d ever want to fake stab someone during the holiday season, but just in case – consider this print of a katana with a collapsing blade. It’s a print-in-place design that requires no supports (just a 0.4 mm nozzle), which really adds to the cool factor.

Pair it with the nunchaku fidget spinner we wrote about earlier this month for a full-on ninja Christmas. Just don’t take this one through airport security. You’ve been warned.
