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!

Tiny Christmas Tree Cat Toy by rijstraket

It’s Christmas for cats, too – so why not give your feline friend a gift? Normally, we’d try to think of a few cat puns, but this print’s MakerWorld page beat us to the punch: “Print this fur-midable Christmas themed tumbling cat toy, fill it up with sand for a purr-fect tumble and the rest is hiss-tory!”

The print comes in two versions: hollow and 100% infill, although the hollow tree will work best, says creator rijstraket. You can also choose to top your tree with a star, as well as print a funnel that will let you more easily fill your tree with sand, avoiding a potentially cat-astrophic mess (oh yeah, we’ve still got it).
