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.
