Traffic cones are too big to fit on your desk so why not make some model cones for decoration or play? These 52 mm tall models stack together like real cones.
There are three models ready to print. First, the snap together multi-colour model makes gluing the parts easier. Next a print-in-place multi-colour model is easy to make if you can manually switch colours like with most Prusa printers. Finally a simple model is provided for easy one-step printing.
