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!

Elf on the Shelf Activity by ChrisRook

Got an Elf on the Shelf that’s keeping tabs on the kids? In essence a puzzle, you’ll print three pieces and a board into which they attach. Then it’s up to The EOTS and his dirty tricks.

In this case, that means your elf will “hide” the pieces during the night, leaving it up to the pint-sized, nice-list hopefuls in your household to find and return them to their rightful positions. Should their mission be successful, all will be righted in the Elfin Kingdom, and Christmas will be saved. Then the elf can get back to doing what he (it?) does best: watching you sleep.
