RUDOLPH'S CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN (Patreon)

Hello my fantastic friends! 

Here's another countdown calendar for you folks! This time it's Rudolph, patiently waiting for Christmas Eve!

The project is pretty similar to the other shadow boxes! Simple construction, provision for the LED lighting at the back, and easy to print parts. 

Some parts are using the fuzzy skin settings, but its clearly identified at the end of the file names.

As usual, no supports needed, place are already placed in the right orientation and complete assembly instructions are included. 

For your 31 day countdown, you will need the following digits: 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. (13 digits in total)

Regarding the hardware, you will need (4x) M3x6mm screws and your favorite lighting. I use conventionnal, cutable LED strips mounted on the backplate of the assembly. You can also mount them around the light box, instead of directly onto the backplate. 

For the Dark blue background, because there's a lot of cutouts into it, make sure to have a dried filament, the right amount of flow and a slower speed than usual. I printed mine at 50mm/s on my X1C, and my filament wasnt dry enough, so i have some imperfections and drag lines, but they're barely noticeable unless you look very closely. 

TEXT VERSIONS INCLUDED: 

-Days till Christmas-Days til Christmas-Jours avant Noel (french version) 

A complete BAMBULAB 3mf file for the whole project is also included. 

In any case, if you have some problems with the project or the files, or you are not familiar with some 3D Printing settings i'm using (like the fuzzy skin setting), feel free to send me a private message. I will try to help you as much as i can, with no judgement.  ;) There's no stupid questions, and not everyone is at the same level, so don't be shy to ask! ;)

Have fun my friends!
