Countdown Till Christmas

Happy Holidays!

This is my homemade countdown to Christmas fully 3D printed! You can begin the countdown anytime from Thanksgiving. To use it, simply adjust the cube as the tens place and the decagon as the ones place to make the amount of days until Christmas. Adjust every day and watch the time fly! You can watch this video which shows how to use it.

The first file is all of the pieces in one but if you want to have them in different colors as in the picture you can print them individually or in groups of the same color. The second is a combination of the four pieces (cube, decagon, start and tree), The third file is the combo of dice and decagon, and the fourth is the combo of the Christmas tree and star. After that it is all of the files individually. Choose the best combination that will fit your needs.

V2!

As promised is the updated version with new pictures of red filament. In addition the Decagon and Stand have been modified to fit together better after some trouble, personally trying to fit the pieces.

Please concider giving this a like if it works out! Also, for anyone that follows me I will follow you back!

Print Settings

Printer: Prusa Mini

Rafts: No

Supports: Yes

Resolution: 0.1

Infill: 15%

Filament: Prusament PLA , Sunlu (Red), Opal Green, Silver, Red
Notes:

I would recommend enforcing supports for the letters S on the base print due to there being such a drastic overhang.

Post-Printing

If you do not have all of the colors you can simply paint them as desired. This is most easily done with light colors (white being the best). You can use almost any paint but I would recommend an acrylic or some paint that would work well with plastic.

Notes

If this works out for you I would really appreciate a like and consider following to be the first to see when a new model comes out! Also, let me know if you have any problems or suggestions.

Thanks, stay safe, and healthy!
