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!
The Hubble Telescope is iconic. It’s also in space. But what if you could put it on your desk – or hold it in the palm of your hand? With the “Hubble Telescope Model Card” you can. Printed as single “cards” – similar to how snap-together models are packaged and sold – you’ll print (no glue required) a miniature Hubble Telescope model of your very own.
Each part is numbered, making assembly a literal snap, but “go slow” the instructions read. There are also a few slicing tips on the model’s Printables page – using a 0.2 mm layer height – for example, but overall this is a simple, scientific print that can unleash anyone’s inner astronaut – or unlock a love for model making. Designer Nakozen has shared a lot of other model kit cards, so check out their profile for more!
