Summary

For this ornament I set out to combine various 3D design, 3D scanning, and 3D printing processes to create a single seamless ornament. All programs used were open-source, aside from the scanning software, including: SketchUp, Shapeshifter, Meshmixer, and Netfabb Studio. I scanned myself using an Xbox Kinect and Artec Studio.

Instructions

Print all parts using the JasonJFerguson_ornament-Final.stl or the JasonJFerguson_ornament-Final.thing files. Assemble the components by melting scrap pieces of ABS (same color as your model) in some Acetone to make ABS glue. Be sure to use a glass jar when dissolving the ABS.

Use the following settings for your print:
High Resolution
50% infill
3 shells
.10 mm layer height
no support
no raft

For a quicker print, lower the resolution to Standard and use the following settings;

Standard Resolution
50% infill
2 shells
.20 mm layer height
no support
no raft
(Note: These settings shorten the time for the full print from over 6 hours to just over 3.)

I also included separate .stl files for each individual part if you want to experiment with different color combinations OR if you want to put a different topper on your ornament...may be kind of strange hanging me on your tree.
