MINI COUNTDOWN CALENDAR! (Patreon)

UPDATE 25/11/15: Two files added: French version and a blank version (so you can write anything you want on it). New files are in the zip file, and the Bambu Lab project has been update too. Have fun!

Hello again, friends! Second post of the day!

This time, we're going with a tiny print! A superb mini countdown calendar that you can bring to the office, hang in your child's room, or put on your Christmas tree!

At only 100mm in diameter, it's very easy to find a place for it! And the project is super simple to make!

You might have guessed it first, there are no supports in this project! These are all simple pieces to print, and assembly is just as easy!

However, you will need to do color changes by layers on most of the pieces. Again, it's important to know that all printers can do this. You don't need a multi-color printer. Anyone can do it. If you're not familiar with color changes by layers, check out my Facebook community page to search or find help.

Of course, all the parts are already positioned correctly for printing, and a complete Bambu Lab file is included, with the color changes already configured.

At the risk of repeating myself: the parts that require color changes are already configured, but by layers and not painted! You must slice the plate first to then see the color changes in the preview.

For the wreath: You'll have to do 4 color changes. Depending on your settings and your layer height, the place where you place them will vary, but you can refer to the pictures to see where the four colors are supposed to be;

Dark green for the lower leaves

Green for the upper leaves

White for the bow ribbons

Gold for the ornaments around the wreath and the center of the bow

Although assembly is very easy, consult the instructions in advance and follow them carefully to ensure you glue the parts correctly!

I think I've already covered everything I need to say, but I'll finish with one last piece of advice: If you experience any problems or encounter small surface defects on the lettering or the top surfaces, don't hesitate to give your parts a little ironing in the settings of your slicer. I did it on mine, and the result is just perfect. Ironing is a setting that can sometimes be forgotten or neglected. On small pieces like this, it barely adds to the printing time and produces magnificent results by correcting small flaws, holes, or surface lines that sometimes ruin the final look of a print.

With that, I won't take up any more of your time! Have fun, friends, and I'll be back soon with other projects that are already underway!!!

Take care my friends!
