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!

Mini Articulated Robot by Polar B34R

With their print-in-place movable limbs and cutesy eyes, these miniature robots may be too small to take over the world, but they will almost certainly conquer your heart. The feedback on these little guys and gals is also highly positive, with users eager to share their finished prints, although there are quite a few reports of the robots’ hands falling off.

A one-handed robot? Some might call that a flaw, we call it character. It’s also worth noting that this design does require supports when printing, but they’re pre-modeled. You shouldn’t have much trouble creating a robot of your own.
