Christmas Bauble Ornaments

#Christmas Bauble Ornaments This year I've designed these Christmas Bauble Ornaments. I was inspired by traditional bauble ornaments, but with a twist. I made these to give to my family and would love to share them with all of you. There are four versions included. - BaubleA1.stl Short Single Twist - BaubleA2.stl Short Double Twist - BaubleB1.stl Long Single Twist - BaubleB2.stl Long Double Twist These are designed to work screw eye hooks. I recommend getting screw eye hooks with ~8mm(5/16") long screw and a thread diameter of ~2mm(5/64"). I used Hillman Brass Screw Eye Hooks #852420 and pre-drill the hole to ~2.3mm(3/32"). This was much larger than recommend for the screw eyes, but because the PLA is harder than wood, it was need to prevent snapping the screw eye. I recommend doing some trials with different size drills to suit you hooks. I recommend printing these at 0.2mm layer height or finer and with a print speed about 70% because of the steep overhang to avoid curling.
