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!

With a print-in-place design and a spinning rotor, this helicopter is ready to take to the imaginary skies. As far as prints go, this one’s simple: just use .20 mm layers and a 0.4 mm nozzle, and there you have it.

There are a ton of comments on Printables that show surprisingly high-quality results here. Additionally, there’s a Chinook version of the same print available, should you be transporting some PLA troops. No offense, Benchy, but you may have some competition. #SpeedPIPHelicopter? Anyone? Anyone?
