Summary

Another fun and different ornament for the holidays! This is part of my Christmas Collection.

Challenging Print

If you just got your first 3D printer and are looking for your first thing to print, this isn't it. Using the settings I recommend below, an experienced maker should be able to get a good print without many failed attempts.

Be very careful when you remove the supports. The spiral arms of the print are delicate.

Looking for an easier print? Try my Open Lattice Christmas Bell. It's a similar design, but requires a lot less support and is a lot less likely to break during printing.

Common Printing Problems

Assuming you use the print settings I recommended below, here are some common problems and possible fixes:

Mushy print: Reduce print temp.
Comes off bed: Increase raft size. Reduce print speed.
Print looks rough: Reduce print speed.
Breaks during printing: Reduce print speed and print temperature. If you can, increase cooling. Add more supports.

Print Time

With my settings, it took about 3.5 hours.
