Summary

Peaceful manger scene or two T-rex fighting over a table saw?
There was a meme going around last year that claimed it was an optical illusion... you'd either see the Nativity scene or two tyrannosaurus fighting over a table saw (or melon). I've removed the illusion.

There is a small hole in the star to facilitate hanging as an ornament.

I don't recommend printing at 100% (or a 0.6mm nozzle), as the left T-Rex's hands won't print. My multi-colored example was printed at 200%. My next print will be 250% or 300%.

My print settings:

Layer height 0.2mm
Initial layer height 0.3mm
Infill 30% (15% would probably be sufficient as well).

For multi-color printing Cura has a plug-in available to facilitate a "filament change" at specific layer heights.

Z scaled at 100%
Color start: brown/red (T rex)
Change color at layer: 3 : brown/gold (basket)
Change color at layer: 4 : silver
Change color at layer: 5 : White (shelter and ground)
(Optional) Embossed text will be the layer 4 color.
(Optional) Raised text do an additional color change at layer: 7

Z scaled at 200%
Color start: brown/red (T rex)
Change color at layer: 6 : gold (basket)
Change color at layer: 8 : silver
Change color at layer: 10 : White (shelter and ground)
(Optional) Embossed text will be the layer 8 color.
(Optional) Raised text do an additional color change at layer: 13
Note, with 0.6mm nozzle this took 20 minutes or so to print, at 5 grams.

You may need to enable "Print Thin Walls" if printing the raised text at 200% or below.

If using a different scale or using other print settings, than use the preview option in your slicer to find the correct layers.
