Ah, the holidays. A time for family, and about as much relaxation as you can manage while the kids are out of school and fueled on a daily dose of seasonal chocolate from their advent calendars.

Your 3D printer can help (somewhat), with quick prints that provide a daily dose of fun. 3D printed advent gifts, if you will.

All month until December 25th we’re bringing you All3DP Unwrapped: daily highlights of quick and easy toys that you can 3D print over the holiday season. We’re sure to dig up something fun for you, whether it’s a daily advent toy, gifts for the holiday celebrated by your family, or just a micro project for yourself. Check it out!

Bubble Wand by ericsnis

This bubble wand is perfect for those “who love playing with bubbles”, which, let’s be real, means all of us. It features both a wand to make them and a bowl in which to keep the liquid solution (a great recipe for which you can find here) – meaning this is the all-in-one bubble-maker you’ve been so desperately searching for. Take note, however: you’ll need to print with a 3-5 mm-margined raft for best results.

But hold on, we’ve saved the best for last. Despite coming in at just four inches (100 mm) wide, the bubbles this wand creates can exceed a foot (30.5 cm) in diameter, proving yet again that it’s not the size of your wand; it’s how you use it. You hear that, everyone everywhere?
