Hey, this is my first Printables contest entry - large (16 inch/40 cm) christmas balls that print in multiple pieces. They can be assembled is hollow frameworks, or around a playground ball for extra color.

Want to keep your filament dry while you print, but too cheap to shell out for a dry box? Make your own! My house goes through Tidy Cat tubs at a rapid rate, and they seal pretty well. I was using a PVC pipe structure on the inside, but I think these skate bearing roller stands will work better. Throw in a few desiccant containers and drill a couple holes in the side, and you're all set! (Humidity monitor optional.) !

I finished the stands for my wife's set of Hocus Pocus decorations just in time - we're decorating this weekend!

The #FreeCAD files are included, and should be pretty easy to alter for whatever figure you'd like to put on them. Just edit the ShapeString to change the text, and adjust the strut and fork to fit the figure.

One of the things I like best about designing and printing is having my wife idly talk about wanting something, and then being able to produce it for her. In this case, she has a doll she wants to decorate for the holidays/seasons. I pulled a set of Easter Bunny ears off Thingiverse, but then designed a headband with flags for the Indy 500 (month of May) and now rockets for July 4th. Working on other designs for later holidays.
