Mega's Christmas Giftbox Ornament w/o Layer Lines

The model is designed to be folded up into the gift box so that faces you are seeing are all bottom facing faces (a.k.a first layers) so that all layer lines can be hidden. This is indented to demonstrate an improved folding technique (heat bending).

Print Settings

• Recommended Filament type: PLA.
• 0.3mm layer height for first and subsequent layers for the ribbons and giftbox. 
• Best printed with 0.4mm diameter nozzle or setting line width to 0.4mm on larger diameter nozzle.
• For the ribbon knots, you want to print at 0.2mm layer height for first and subsequent layers. (0.3mm layer height for the first layer might work, but not recommended).

General Assembly Instructions/Tips & Tricks:

• You can start with assembling the giftbox (red parts). 
• Heat your printed bed to 60-70C (for PLA).
• Put some super glue on folds, you don't need a lot of glue, just a bit will do. so that you don't make a mess or excess glue squeezing out of the seams (wearing latex/nitrile gloves are recommended).
• Place the part you want to fold on the bed for 30-60seconds.
• Heated bed will soften the fold lines. Fold accordingly and slowly.
• use rubber bands to hold them together.
• wait for the glue to cure.
• you can certainly fold without using a heated bed (but you will leave an ugly white/stress line on the folds.  

Ribbon Knots Assembly instructions/Tips & Tricks:

• Prepare 1.75mm filament that is about 30mm long. It is being used as a “shaft” for the knot.
• Push the “shaft” into the hexagonal shape knob.
• take a piece of the ribbon stripe, poke the middle hole through the shaft.
• fold and poke the left stripe to the shaft, you now created a loop. Do the same for the right stripe.  use superglue to secure them.
• once fully cured, trim the excess length of the shaft.
• Glue the finished knot on to the giftbox.
