Chocolate Holder Ornament

About the Chocolate Holder Ornament

A chocolate holder ornament: a tree decoration that holds a round chocolate (a Ferrero Rocher or a Lindor) so the chocolate is the bauble, in a wreath of leaves, a star or a plain ring, with a hanging loop on top and a banner with the name underneath.

What you can change

• Type your own name.
• Make one, or a whole batch at once: paste a list of names and get one each.
• Font: 26 to choose from, from script to stencil.
• Round it: A wreath of leaves, A star and A plain ring.
• Pick the frame and banner and name colours.
• Adjust chocolate, across.

What you download

An STL for any slicer, and a 3MF with each colour as its own part, ready for an AMS or a filament change.

Printing it

Prints flat on its back, no supports. Push the chocolate in from the front: it stops against the lip at the back (a dot of Blu Tack keeps it there). Hang it from the loop with ribbon.

Questions

Which chocolates fit?

Round ones about 30 mm across, like Ferrero Rocher and Lindor. The size is a setting, so measure yours.

Will the chocolate fall out?

It pushes in from the front and stops against a lip at the back; a dot of Blu Tack keeps it in place.

Do I need a multi-colour printer?

No. Print it in one colour, or in colours with a filament change: the Colours line under the 3D view says at which height to change. With an AMS or another multi-colour printer, the 3MF prints it in one go.

Which printers and slicers does it work with?

Any FDM printer. The STL opens in every slicer; the 3MF keeps the colours as separate parts in Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer and Cura. Pick your printer in the designer to check it fits the plate.

Can I sell what I make?

On Pro and Ultimate you can sell the prints you make, for example on Etsy or at craft fairs. On Free and Maker, print it for yourself or give it as a gift. The STL and 3MF files themselves are never for sharing or selling.
