Description

Noelring is a seating ring designed to sit inside a hollow sphere, with “Merry Christmas 2026” lettering held in its opening. The ring’s outer edge is cut to the sphere’s inner curve, so the seat meets a 97.4 mm internal-diameter shell across the full 3 mm ring width instead of resting on a single line. The top and bottom faces are flat, the centre is open with no background plate, and the three text lines run the full 4 mm height of the ring, flush with both faces. The lettering is set in Parisienne, a connected cursive script with a dotless “i” in “Christmas”; “Christmas” runs into the ring wall at both ends and is the only line fused to it, while “Merry” and “2026” are not tied to the ring and depend on touching “Christmas” to stay in place.

Dimensions

  • Ring: 97.4 mm outer diameter × 4 mm tall
  • Ring width: 3 mm; inner diameter about 91.4 mm
  • Seat: outer edge curved to a sphere with a 97.4 mm internal diameter (48.7 mm radius)
  • Lettering block: about 91.3 × 48.2 mm, full 4 mm height

Features

  • Curved outer edge follows the sphere’s inner surface across the full ring width
  • Flat top and bottom faces, with the seat carried on the outside edge
  • Open centre: the lettering has no background plate behind it
  • Three stacked lines, “Merry”, “Christmas” and “2026”, set in Parisienne, a connected cursive script
  • “Christmas” runs into the ring wall at both ends and is anchored there
  • “Merry” and “2026” are not joined to the ring; they rely on contact with “Christmas”
  • The “i” in “Christmas” is dotless, so the line has no separate dot
  • All three lines are set flush with the ring’s top and bottom faces

Fit

  • Made for a hollow shell with a 97.4 mm inner diameter; scale the ring and sphere together for any other size
  • The 4 mm height is a design choice: a taller ring grips more wall but reaches further into the sphere
  • The ring locates itself against the sphere’s curve rather than locking in place

Print notes

  • “Christmas” is fused to the ring at its ends; “Merry” and “2026” are held only where they touch “Christmas” — check those contact points before printing
  • If a word does not touch “Christmas”, it will print as a loose piece
  • No struts connect “Merry” or “2026” to the ring wall
  • No supports should be needed for the flat ring and full-height lettering

Newar Lantern — Pagoda Temple Lamp

Newar Lantern — Pagoda Temple Lamp

The Newar Lantern is a miniature Newari-style Hindu pagoda temple built as a display lamp, standing 250 mm tall with a roof that overhangs a narrower temple body. The chamber inside is hollow and open at the front, with a 60 mm opening in the ceiling that drops LED light onto a separate Ganesh statue, while the cable runs in a ceiling channel, down a rear groove and out an 8 mm exit at floor level so the wiring stays out of sight. The three roof tiers lift straight off for access to the light and statue, and every piece sits on a flat bottom for stable printing. Dimensions Assembled height: 250 mm Lower roof: 200 × 180 mm; base: 155 × 145 mm Internal chamber: 112 × 92 × 115 mm with a flat floor Arched front entrance: 105 × 105 mm, open at the front Ceiling light opening: 60 mm, with a recess for the LED holder Finial spigot: 12 mm Features Three progressively smaller roof tiers with uppturned corner horns, layered eaves and a small windowed storey beneath the lower two A pointed finial seated in the top roof on a 12 mm spigot Two-step platform base with a row of 6 mm spherical ornaments Arched entrance with a framed, studded border, corner pillars, lattice side windows and a cornice LED holder: a flat plate with a collar for the module and a cable slot Separate seated Ganesh statue on a flat pedestal, about 90 mm tall and sized for the chamber Print notes Seven pieces: temple body, three roof tiers, finial, LED holder and Ganesh statue Roof tiers join on 5 mm pins and 5.6 mm sockets, so they lift off without clips Roof undersides are set at a 45° slope so each tier prints without supports The sloped roof sections are solid rather than a thin shell — print them with 3 walls and about 8% infill, since the walls carry the load Flat bottoms keep every piece stable on the build plate Walls are kept to a minimum of 2 mm for durable printing

Classic Heart Shape, 7 mm Thick

Classic Heart Shape, 7 mm Thick

What it's for A plain, symmetrical traditional Valentine's heart that prints flat on the plate as a single solid piece. Use it as a decorative shape, a gift topper, or a starting point for ornaments and hanging decorations. Classic rounded-lobe heart silhouette with a V-shaped notch at the top and a point at the bottom Each lobe is a true smooth arc, so the outline reads as a continuous curve from above with no flat facets The sides running down from the widest point to the bottom tip stay straight, as intended Front edges rounded all the way around, including both lobes Back face completely flat, with no edge rounding, giving a clean surface to glue against or to cut a mounting interface into Prints without supports Dimensions Width: 60 mm Height: about 55 mm (54.9 mm as measured on the plate) Thickness: 7 mm Edge rounding: 3 mm radius, on the front face only 60 mm is the largest direction, so the heart sits at the size limit rather than under it Print notes Lay the heart flat on the build plate so the 7 mm thickness forms the height and the flat back becomes the bed contact face. At this size it prints quickly and needs no supports or rafts. Any common filament works; a glossy or silk finish suits the smooth faces, and the rounded edge catches light along the outline. Remix ideas Add a small hole near the top lobe for hanging Emboss a name, date, or short message on the front face Cut a keyhole slot or a knob interface into the flat back for wall mounting or a stand Change the front edge radius for a puffier heart or more flat side wall
