With Christmas approaching, 3D printing offers a solution for last-minute gift preparations. Certain models can be printed in less than two hours, allowing for thoughtful presents right up to Christmas Day.
One innovative option is print-in-place toy cards, which start as flat designs that transform into toys like cars and puzzles. These are easy to produce as they typically print without supports, minimizing filament use. Their self-contained nature makes them ideal for stuffing into stockings or envelopes.
Another quick and personal gift is personalized Christmas ornaments. By adding names or dates, these prints become meaningful keepsakes. Most designs can be completed in under an hour and can be efficiently printed in batches. Their lasting quality and ability to be reused with new personalization enhance their appeal as gifts.
These 3D-printed items not only save time but also convey thoughtfulness, making them suitable for the holiday season.
