Model of a traditional hot air balloon. The cool part is that the balloon part is divided in 12 sections of the same size which you can click together with a pin-hole connection. You then use the ‘Bottom’ file to keep them all in place. Just gently, but firmly push the bottom part on the 12 connected pieces. The parts of the balloon part hold themselves into place by the fitted form. If the bottom-part doesn't fit, try scaling it up/down with 0,5 - 1% in the slicer.
Only the basket piece needs glue to stay in place, but also has a hole connection with the bottom part of the balloon, just for lining up. The balloons in the pictures are not glued together with the basket.
You can print different configurations of the balloon with 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 12 different colors.
I printed all of the models at 0.2mm height on a MK3S+. I used Prusament for the balloon and some Polywood filament I had laying around for the basket.
Enjoy!
