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!

Squishy Turtle by jakejake

Not that we would recommend squishing turtles, but here’s a turtle you can squish. Designed with a “flex concept” that causes them to cutely bounce after being tapped or dropped – as well as with several variations of shell and a retractable head – you’re in for a small amount of assembly here, but no worries: it’s all done with easily attachable H-clips, meaning no glue required.

This is a great one for kids (although be wary of the turtles’ small size, and potential to break into even smaller pieces), as we think they’ll dig both the design and the bouncing effect, which is quite fun.
