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!

Toy Car by Jeanpierre Gillot

This one is a little more involved than most of our advent toy picks: this toy car has a lot of parts – 14 files, to be exact – meaning it’s a great gift choice for anyone into models, Lego, puzzles, or anything else you can put together. Assembly doesn’t look too difficult, so this could be something for the kids as well, so long as they aren’t super young.

The car’s 136.5 mm x 80.5 mm x 59.5 mm size is in the sweet spot – big enough to display, but small enough to stow away in a drawer – and the design is also noteworthy, with aesthetics that would look at home on the shelf of a toy store. Should it not quite be to your taste, however, you can choose from one of the seven other variants on creator Jeanpierre Gillot’s Printables page.
