On Thursday, family and friends from all over will gather around the dinner table (or, depending on your family, around the TV) for Thanksgiving, a festive holiday that typically entails an endless spread of homecooked food and an eventual slumber-inducing food coma.

Before you start basting that turkey, why not spruce up the seasonal vibe of your home or dinner table with some 3D printed Thanksgiving decorations? For today’s Weekend Project, let’s take a look at a handful of 3D printing ideas that you can gobble up before your aunt’s famous stuffing hits the table.

We know the day is right around the corner, so we decided to share five 3D models that are easy to print and sure to make the family smile. So before you unbuckle that, unwind a spool of some Fall-colored filament and get printing!

Pilgram Hat Card Holder

Want to make sure the children actually stay seated at the kid’s table this time? Why not 3D print a pilgrim hat card holder. You can use it to assign seats or allow your guest to put what they’re grateful for on display. It’s certainly not large enough to sit on your head as you descend upon Plymouth rock, but this simple, support-free print will add some heart-warming fun to the Thanksgiving dinner table. The designer recommends 3D printing this pilgrim hat with five-percent infill.

Thanksgiving Cooke Cutters

Nothing says Thanksgiving like food, especially if that food just so happens to be a cookie that is shaped like an autumn leaf or turkey. These 3D printed cookie cutters will provide the entire family with seasonally-themed sweet treats.

This set is comprised of various Autumn-y cookie cutter designs, including Chestnuts, Cornucopia, Oak Leaves, Pumpkin, and Turkey. As if that’s not enough to make your tummy rumble, the designer even included a sugar cookie recipe with the 3D files.

The Squash Gobbler

This one goes out to all the vegetarian and vegan makers who opt of Tofurky over turkey on Thanksgiving. The Squash Gobbler is half gourd, half 3D printed parts, and 100-percent animal-friendly turkey. Using a plump squash and a 3D printed turkey head, tail, legs, and wings, you can create an adorable turkey that is completely meat-free.

The designers recommend printing each section of the turkey with at least 50-percent infill to prevent the posts from breaking. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to squash the beef with all your carnivorous family members.
