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!

Benchy Paddle Boat by Jaysen Petersen

Ever wished Benchy was seaworthy – and had a paddle? Consider it granted, with this printable, rubber band-powered Benchy Paddle Boat. The print is a simple two-parter: the Benchy’s hull, which features two pontoon-like structures, and the paddle.

No supports or special filament is required. All you need to do is print, attach a rubber band, wind the paddle, and take to the sea (or kitchen sink). Happy paddlin’!
