##Update
Added design 13.1. This is the same as 4.5, except the loop at the top is rotated 45 degrees, revealing a different pattern when facing it straight-on.

##Original Content

This is a set of 6 Christmas ornaments. The photos above show each one frmo two different angles.

These are all created in the same basic way (see the "How I designed this" section of my [Elegant Double-Spiral Christmas Ornament](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5022834). The differences come from the number of rings, the amount of twist on each, and the Z-index angles between the rings. These are part of my [Christmas Collection](https://www.thingiverse.com/dazus/collections/christmas-collection).

I designed these to print easily, to be light (heaviest is under 25g), and to look elegant when printed in one color. I provided two versions of each ornament - with and without custom supports. With the supports and a raft, no other supports should be necessary.

With my print settings, each ornament takes about 6 hours to print.

I recommend using a metallic or silky filament (or spray paint the final print with a metallic paint). The metallic or silky highlights will catch the light and show off the complex geometry of the ornaments.

At 100%, these are about 125mm high and look…
