Print Of The Month - December

‘’ Happy Holidays, everyone!

'Tis the season to spread joy, and what better way to celebrate than by giving back in a truly unique way! For this month's Print of the Month, I decided to lend a hand to my talented barber and help him decorate his Christmas tree— but not just any tree decoration. This time, I got creative and designed the perfect tree topper... using 3D printing, of course!

Instead of a typical star, I set out to find something that would make a statement. After browsing Makerworld, I stumbled upon a fantastic STL file for a Barber Pole lamp, and it was the perfect fit! To make sure it would sit nicely atop the tree, I added a 6cm diameter hole to the base piece, allowing it to securely perch on the tree.

Now, the topper is proudly displayed in the window of Ryan’s Barbers in Coalville, adding a festive, barber-inspired touch to their holiday décor.

For this print, we used our test model of the K2 Plus Combo paired with Prima Value PLA+ in Silver, and Copymaster PLA in Red, White, and Blue— the classic barber pole colors. The K2 Plus made light work of this print, completing the entire project in just 3 hours.

And a special shout-out to the Creality CFS filament system— thanks to its spring-loaded top, even our nearly-empty cardboard spools fed flawlessly throughout the print, ensuring a smooth and seamless experience.

Wishing you all a joyful holiday season and happy printing!’’
