The Rebel Bauble Crown

This isn’t your average wreath: it’s a gang of baubles that staged a coup against the Christmas tree and decided to form a circle just to get noticed. Red, green, white—lined up like festive soldiers, with holly leaves playing the sidekick and a red bow screaming “look at me, I was born to steal the spotlight.” It’s the kind of decoration that doesn’t just say “Merry Christmas.” It stares you down and adds, “and by the way, I shine brighter than your flickering nativity lights.” Christmas is the season of kindness… or so the cookie commercials claim. So, to avoid looking like a tax‑deductible Grinch, I’ve prepared pre‑colored 3MF files for you. But I still swear by acrylic paints: more artisanal, more satisfying, and—bonus—no mountains of plastic poops. Still, if you’re on Team ‘multicolor without a brush,’ here you go: files ready to go. Don’t say I never spoil you. 📐 Printing specs Model height: 20 cm Printing technology: FDM Material: PLA Line thickness: 0.16 mm PLA used: 320 g Printing time: ~12 hours Finish: smooth and glossy spheres, holly leaves with fuzzy skin texture at 0.2 mm Extra tips: 10% infill, supports only for the bow, minimal brim (so you don’t end up cursing at your spatula). 🎨 Painting techniques To match the look in the photo: Red, green, and white spheres: glossy acrylics, two coats for full saturation. Holly leaves: dark green with light green drybrush on the edges. Berries: bright red with a glossy finish. Red bow: bright red base, dark wash in the folds, satin finish. Seal with matte clear coat overall, except bow and berries which deserve gloss.   Hang it up and get ready: every guest will ask where you bought it. Just grin and say, ‘I printed it myself.’
