Christmas Tree Ornament Set Pt II: The New Batch (Vase Mode Prints)

To celebrate my 2nd Holiday season on Printables, I decided to add an additional 6 ornament designs to my collection of Vase Mode Christmas Tree Ornaments. I posted the original 6 last year, and they quickly became my most popular published design yet. I hope y'all enjoy these 6 as much as you seemed to enjoy the last. Merry Christmas to all that celebrate, and Happy Holidays to everyone else! If you don't celebrate any Winter Holidays, I hope you have a wonderful December anyway! 

I printed all of my ornaments using the standard Vase Mode settings in Prusa Slicer, the only settings I changed were the nozzle temperature since the MatterHackers PLA printed at a higher temp, as well as the extrusion width for both the perimeters and external perimeters. I changed this value from 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm, which created prints with thicker walls, and more overlap between layers at steep angles. This will make the ornaments much less fragile.

After the ornaments are printed, the top can be easily snapped off using a pair of pliers, it should split cleanly along a layer line. Make sure to leave enough of the neck to attach a ¾" ornament cap. I got mine off of Amazon, but they should be easy to find at any craft store as well. Pick up some ornament hooks as well, or get creative with a bit of ribbon or twine.

All 6 ornaments are designed to fit a full size tree, but they can also be sized down to ⅔ scale to fit a mini tree. These mini ornaments will require standard ½" ornament caps.
