LED Christmas Tree Bauble / Ornament / Ball

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

Just a simple, stylish LED Christmas bauble for your Xmas tree (or any other holiday decoration). We use it on our small living XMas tree just outside our window and it looks awesome at night.
The baubles should fit most standard LED Christmas string lights. You can either use white LEDs and print color baubles or use colored LEDs and print white or transparent baubles (we actually use warm white LEDs and mostly simple white baubles).

Works with most standard PLA filaments but, of course, the more transparent, the better (white and transparent work very well, so does the orange, red, and green PLA I have, but our blue is too dark - just try it out with whatever you have).
Print the two halves lying flat (upside down) at 0.2 mm resolution (or higher) and 100% infill (the wall is only 1 mm). Once printed simply insert the LED and clip them together. No need for glue. It is designed to be a tight fit (so they won't fall apart) but if you find it too hard to put them together, just sand the rim a little. Squeeze to get them apart.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
