Summary

Here's a new design for the holiday season. The ornament has two patterns that alternate.

I was able to get reasonably good prints by printing the ornament as a single piece, but by cutting the ornament in two, I reduced print time and improved print quality. You just need a thin bead of super glue to join the pieces. To make sure the pieces are lined up and dry properly, stack 2 rolls of filament and set the ornament in the middle. That makes it easy to rotate the ornament without moving the pieces out of alignment.

I use Height Range Modifiers in PrusaSlicer to adjust settings for Perimeters, Top, Bottom, and Infill. I also used paint on seams. I was able to get a great balance of print quality and weight. I've shared my PrusaSlicer 3MF files and MK3S+ GCODE to make it easier for you.

I've provided as both 1 piece and 2 piece as STL/OBJ files. 2 are STL. One is an OBJ because the STL had mesh errors that I corrected using PrusaSlicer's Repair STL File feature.
