This is a Santa Sleigh for decor, candy dish, gift basket, or whatever your imagination wants it to be. It is taken and modified from a Woodcraft Supply scrollsaw plan from the December/January 2023 issue. I modified the plan somewhat to make it easier to 3D print and glue together. I also made a number of different trims that you can print to change it up.
For those who would like to design your own trim, I have included the outline as a jpg. You can print this out, draw and then depending on the program you use to model, use an image converter to convert it to a piece that is 171mm wide and 1.2mm thick. I have included a number of examples, but there many of you are far more artistic. If you don't know how to create an STL file from a jpg, but do know how to draw then feel free to draw and post the jpg in a comment and I will convert to a trim of your design when I get a chance.
I thought of making this doll house size but not sure how big it should be for 1/12 dollhouse. Might already be that small if you want to put a doll in it, but not if you want it on a dollhouse mantel. You can shrink to about 1/3 of its current size before the pieces get too thin. Make the trim at least .8mm thick to have enough layers to hold together right.
I use an Ender 3 with red PLA and I can print two sides at a time and the front, back and bottom at the same time. I print the trim on a Rostock V2 using gold silk PLA, but it would work on the Ender too.
Note: I replaced the Sleigh Bottom file, it was the wrong scale for the rest of the parts. Apologies to anyone who tried to print it, please use the updated file instead. Added the Grinch face to the sleigh detail options.
Just added a trim with Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington and his dog.
