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!

Magnet Fishing Game by WunschGedruckt

Stuck on you (Source: WunschGedruckt via Printables)
This magnet fishing game features a fishing pool with a magnetic attachment, as well as a handful of magnet-embedded sea creatures like seahorses and jellyfish to “fish” for. Aesthetically, it’s very pleasing, especially when it’s printed in pastel colors – and entertainment-wise you’re looking at a nice little distraction for the kids (or yourself, of course).

A few instructions to heed here: user 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2m m layer height, and a 10-15% for the animal pieces. You’ll also need to stop your printer mid-print to insert the magnets. Check the game’s Printables page for all the details.
