All3DP Unwrapped: Spirograph

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!

Spirograph by Bea Res

Originating as a woodwork blueprint before being adapted to 3D printers, this spirograph print features the spirograph itself, as well as four gears with which to draw geometric patterns. It’s also designed with kids in mind – with rounded edges and large gears that better fit small hands.

You’ll need a thin pen or pencil for the best results in actually drawing the patterns, so keep that in mind should you be stuffing stockings with this surefire holiday winner.
