Customizable Lego Christmas Ornaments. Requires OpenSCAD, easy/free install.  Type in the desired name, adjust parameters as desired. 


IMPORTANT: Before pushing on a mini figure, test the stud size with a digital caliper to ensure it is 4.8mm in diameter.  If its larger, you risk breaking the mini figure.  Printer tolerances vary. DO NOT ASSUME!  Print a test. Measure with a digital caliper. And do the math below to calculate the tolerance adjustment value to set in the SCAD parameter section. Don't be stupid. Spend the extra few minutes and do it correctly.  The 90 degree stand version, may require a different tolerance adjustment than the flat printed version.

( 4.8 - [measured diameter] ) / 2 = [Tolerance adjustment value]

 

When printed the 90 degree platform, enable supports (tree or normal).  Flat platform, supports are not needed.


I've had good results printed at 0.2mm layer height, 0.4mm nozzle,  .8 wall thickness, but 4 wall/line count (keeps studs from falling apart), in-fill 20% grid.  I haven't needed build plate support, but than again, I have a PEI bed plate.

Put a string through the generated hole at the top, or select the magnet option and glue in an 8mm x 3mm neodymium magnet.
