Year of the Ox Chinese New Year Decorations

Happy Year of the Ox! ==================== My <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4101597">Year of the Rat ornaments</a> worked out so well that I've designed Year of the Ox designs to go with them. To keep things simpler, I've created only two ox designs this time around. The hangers are built in to the design which means you can add tassels or hangers or just use them as coasters. **If you print any of the decorations, please post a make; I'd love to see it! :)** P.S. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fu_(character)">Chinese character Fú (福)</a> means "fortune" or "good luck." If it is displayed upside-down, it means "good luck arrives." <hr></hr> <b>General Printing Notes</b> --------------------- * The models are thin to reduce filament usage and consequently are a bit bendy. If you want a thicker ornament, scale Z up to your preference. * Printed at .2 layer height with wall thickness of 1.5 and wall line count of 4 * Filament: 1.75mm PLA in CC3D ZHUOPU Red Silk and Hatchbox Gold * Printer: Ender 3 * To print with two colours as shown, here is a good tutorial on <a href="https://mattshub.com/blog/2017/04/25/material-change">filament swapping</a>. * For the split ring and infinity knot, see my <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4101597">Year of the Rat decorations</a> <hr></hr> <b>Credits</b> --------------------- I used a variety of free vectors from Vecteezy.
