Perpetual Desk Calendar
Two date cubes and three month bars in a stand, with an optional name on the front: turn the cubes and swap the bars and it shows any date, every year. Numbers and months are engraved, or filled in a second colour.
Customise it in your browser, then download a print-ready STL, or a multi-colour 3MF. No CAD skills needed.
About the Perpetual Desk Calendar
A perpetual desk calendar: two date cubes and three month bars in a stand, so turning the cubes and swapping the bars shows any date of any year. The numbers and months are engraved, or filled in a second colour, and there’s room for a name on the front.
What you can change
- Type your own name on the stand.
- Months: short and in full.
- Font: 26 to choose from, from script to stencil.
- Numbers and letters: filled in a second colour and engraved, one colour.
- Pick the stand, cube and bar and number and letter colours.
- Adjust date cube size.
Size
About 72 × 58 × 77 mm (width × depth × height), one piece at the starting settings.
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
About 93 g of PLA and about 5 hours 20 minutes to print, one piece at the starting settings (15% infill, 2 walls, 0.2 mm layers, on a Bambu Lab A1). Your slicer gives the exact figures for your printer and settings.
Ideas for using it
- A desk gift for a colleague, a teacher or someone retiring, with their name on the front.
- Set it to a special date, such as a wedding or a birthday, as a keepsake.
- A morning job for a child: setting the day’s date.
- Print it in office colours for a reception desk.
Questions
What size is it?
About 72 × 58 × 77 mm (width × depth × height), one piece at the starting settings. Every size is a setting, so make it as big or small as you need.
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.
