We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Good to know before you order

TPU has a £11.50 print-order minimum. ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon and PETG-CF have a £46 minimum; PA-CF has a £69 minimum. Delivery is shown separately in your cart.

Need a few parts? Add them to one cart. One order minimum and one postage charge cover the cart: £6.90 for standard materials, £11.50 with TPU, £46 with ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon or PETG-CF, or £69 with PA-CF.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A Christmas tree ornament built around a gyroscopic gimbal structure, with a star motif at the centre. The nested rings rotate freely within one another, giving the piece a kinetic quality when hung. It is intended as a seasonal decoration for home or office. PLA is well suited to this design, producing the fine tolerances the gimbal joints require and printing readily in festive colours available from most filament suppliers.

Original maker's notes

By marcoalici on Thingiverse · CC-BY-SA

A new inspiration for my christmas tree.

**UPDATE 2018-10-17:** Added a new version **ornament 02 NO LOGO.stl** without the star in the center.

**UPDATE 2015-12-06:** Fixed an error on **ornament_02.stl**.

**UPDATE 2015-11-20:** Added a new version **ornament_02.stl** with reduced (0.2 mm) clearance in the joints, instead of 0.4 mm in **ornament.stl**.

Formatting may have been simplified. These are the independent maker's instructions and fitment claims; Hark Tech has not independently verified them.
