3D Printed X-mas Gifts that don't suck!

[@MAGA_Patriot2024]

My wife has, believe it or not, become the opposite! At first, she thought it was worthless and a total waste of time and money. Now, she hits me up at least once a week with new things to print. 🤣

If my spouse spent time designing and printing something for me on a 3D Printer, you better bet I'm going to love it, and I do...

[@Agamemnon2]

I made 3d printed gift tags for my presents this year, and printed one of those "Our First Pandemic" Christmas tree bauble designs for my uncle's family, since they traditionally have a big xmas tree. All were well received. Also sent a printed bookmark in a Christmas card to a friend of mine.

[@ConkSMASH]

The puzzle cylinder was a great last minute print. Definitely one to keep around for when needed. Thanks!

[@christophermaschek]

I put a cheap LED flashlight in the collapsible lightsaber.

[@TheAngusmaximus89]

My wife feels the same way about 3d printed gifts lolol. Wasnt a good valentine's day!

[@UncleJessy]

hahaha been right there with you. A lough we still have a 3D Printed Red Love sign thing i printed a few years back in our bedroom

[@WalterRittner]

nice to see my models featured here

[@UncleJessy]

Fantastic work on those files!

[@makerfun3d913]

The 3D Maze box was PERFECT for my daughter's gift certificates. :-) I ended up printing 2 for the 2 she got from her grandparents. :-) My wife did get a 3D Printed gift. The Aladdin's Lamp from Nikko Industries. It looks REALLY good. I'll paint it and make it look great. She's been looking for a nice Aladdin's lamp for her Disney Movie collection of nick knacks. :-) She was really happy about it. But, I don't print her a lot of things.

[@nyxskids]

If you know anyone that eats oui yogurt often, making them lids for the glass containers that comes in could be a cool gift. Especially if they are fans of containers (like many people are). Ice seen several designs out there on various sites for them.

[@UncleJessy]

Fantastic Idea!

[@DinnerSonic]

I thought up the perfect Christmas gifts to print for my family and friends... and then proceeded to screw up the settings on my 3D printer before I could get to printing to them, turning those into "belated Christmas gifts" instead. I totally forgot about the collapsible lightsaber model, though, I think I know someone who'd love one of those... myself!

[@WestonPufferShadrachSC]

Oh wow! Now that idea sounds amazing

[@shalendar2]

Printed gifts for your significant other is entirely dependent on what you're giving. I spent the month leading up to my partners birthday making pokeballs and several multi color pokemon, and she freaking loved it.

[@triplet7788]

I ended up printing some Christmas miniatures and handpainting them for coworkers! They loved the results. If I end up getting a prusa or elegoo Saturn, I'll definitely print bigger minis and what I've seen in this video. Have a wonderful holiday J! The specific mini I'm gifting my coworkers and friends is a Christmas shroomie, free off of myminifactory.

[@UncleJessy]

Minis are great gift ideas as well especially if you're painting them! Nicely done!

[@ModernPhillosophy]

Keep up the great content Uncle Jessy! Just got my first printer, but I've been watching your videos for years now and really excited to go back through them again now that I can print props!

[@UncleJessy]

Huge congrats! Yer gonna love it. For sure a learning experience with any machine and the more you print the better you get at refining settings etc

[@resynnminis7406]

Glad to see you showing off the Prusa Mini!

[@Austin1990]

I feel like 3D printing can fall into the DIY arena depending upon someone's fabrication skills. For instance, these all still have layer lines. It is like using a new lathe to make someone a wooden bowel that has bit marks. You have to really think about the details. Does finish matter? Can you fabricate something as good or better than what you could buy? Are you 3D printing gifts purely for the purpose of 3D printing? The thought is what matters, and putting more time and money into something inferior to commercial alternatives just because you wanted to print something would not leave a good taste in someone's mouth.

[@fakumadda1632]

Analysts estimate that a PLA bottle could take anywhere from 100 to 1,000 years to decompose in a landfill. Another issue with PLA is that, because it is of different origin than regular plastic, it must be kept separate when recycled, lest it contaminate the recycling stream.

[@JJModelMaking]

How on earth can you get that Mandalorian to print in 4-6 hours, my Ender 3 is saying 18 hours at 0.12mm? What settings did you use Jessy?

[@franciscocataldo9238]

maybe he used thicker shells and less filling

[@policani]

It's really hard to find STL's that people will receive as something more than just a hung of monochrome plastic. This year I'm making custom lithophones, articulated Sheron dragons, egg shaped dragon boxes with screw on lids, and Minecraft earth block boxes with a removable grass lid.

[@P4TRICCS]

To be honest i think the most basic thing is would be awesome gift to because you worked on it did it yourself and made just for him/her by you and that makes it better then buying it in a shop or downloading a file. That saber still awesome. I will get one if i have another filament

[@BitSmythe]

4:33 that’s what I did with my puzzle as well, just yank it open.

[@tonykyle2655]

Unless you print a dragon that can be posed and your wife (and friends) are into dragons.

[@UncleJessy]

Dragons for the win!

[@hatenull]

I tried that. Putting my wife's face on the dragon was a regrettable decision.

[@Rescuefat]

I designed a deck box for my friends for yu-gi-oh with a magnetic door and tray for cards and dice

My significant other loves 3D printed things.

[@Sparks29252]

I took it a step further with my brother. He wanted a gift card. So I entombed it entirely inside a print. I look forward to him smashing it open. And my girlfriend loves when I print stuff for her. But then again that's mostly props for her cosplay.

I have the neptune 3 max. Can you help me with the settings to print figures faster? Pls. I printed 3 pieces about 4 inches big and took 15 hours. Lol.

[@roughcountryoutfitters4545]

Enjoy your vids. Just got my first printer last week, a longer lk1. It's been a serious learning curve and took a ton of tinkering to get it to start printing decent. I've found that it prints best around at speeds around 35. Is that normal?

[@Evakron]

That's on the slower side, but not too far off average for typical materials like PLA or PETG. You might be able to go faster by spending some time calibrating other printer settings like acceleration, retraction, e-stepping, flow etc.

[@cpace123]

Uncle Jessy. I had a thought. So when you IPA gets dirty from cleaning your resin. Or what ever cleaning agent you use. I have not tried this, but I think I will. Have you ever tried running your left over solution into a portable water filter? Just wondering if you can not only clean your IPA(insert your solution here), but reclaim your solution?

would the Prusa Mini be a good choice for printing item for cosplay like a helmet and or armor? Or is the MK3S+ a better choice? for me the Mini is more in my budget range, and I am also a beginner at 3D printing any help will be much appreciated please and thank you.

It is a mid size resin printer that seems to have a self filling resin tank. I would really love to see you test it and tell us what you think. Or send a link to anyone else who has may be tested it.
