Open Lattice Christmas Bell

**NOT TO BE SOLD**
**I'm sharing my files so that you can make them for yourselves or give them away as gifts. I hope you enjoy them. I do not authorize sale of my work by anyone. Please don't ask me.**

**EASY PRINT**
If you just got your first 3D printer, this might not be the first thing you print, but it can be one of your earliest prints. Using the settings I recommend below, you should be able to print it with little difficulty.

**SUMMARY**
Here's a fun, quick, simple print to brighten up the holidays. The design is clearly a bell, but it also references Renaissance architecture. 

**COMMON PRINTING PROBLEMS**
Assuming you use the print settings I recommended below, here are some common problems and possible fixes:
* Mushy print: Reduce print temp.
* Comes off bed: Increase raft size. Reduce print speed.
* Print looks rough: Reduce print speed.
* Breaks during printing: Reduce print speed and print temperature. If you can, increase cooling. 

**PRINT TIME**
With my settings, it took about 3 hours.

**PRINT SETTINGS**
*Thickness*

* Layer thickness: .15mm
* Wall thickness: 0.8mm. If you want to go thinner to reduce weight, consider using Cura's “alternate extra wall” option so it alternates between 0.4 and 0.8mm walls with each layer. That may prevent gaps in the print.
* Top/bottom thickness: 0.3mm

*Infill*
This doesn't need any infill. Seriously. 

*Speed*
You'll want to use slow printer settings to that the print is accurate and to reduce chance the bell is pulled off the plate curing printing.

* Overall: 60mm/s
* Outer wall: 30mm/s
* Inner wall: 40mm/s
* Travel Speed: 65mm/sec

*Build Plate Adhesion*
The first layer of the bell is just a thin circle. I've found that a thin (4mm extra margin) raft works well to provide bed adhesion. It also separates more cleanly than a brim for this model. The raft only adds about 10 minutes to the print time.

*Supports*
I recommend printing with supports to ensure the roof of the bell prints cleanly. Ok, it doesn't show when it's hanging up, but I'm a perfectionist. With these settings, you'll only get supports where you need them.

* Support placement: Touching buildplate
* Support overhang angle: 71 degrees (this really is all you need)
* Support pattern: Gyroid
* Support wall line count: 1
* Support density: 15%

Kaleidoscope Christmas Ball 2

Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5100757.

I designed this using Affiinity Designer to create cross-sections and then did everything else in Blender. 

I designed theis to print easily, to be light, and to look elegant when printed in one color. I recommend using a metallic or silky filament (or spray paint the final print with a metallic paint). The metallic or silky highlights will catch the light and show off the complex geometry of the ornaments.

At 100%, this is 80mm wide, which is a nice size for trees 1.5 meter and larger. However, I scaled it to 60% and it looks great. At that size, it will work well on trees as small as 0.5 meter high. You may be able to scale this down slightly smaller than 60%, but I haven't tried it. If you do and it works, please post a comment.

PRINT SETTINGS

To make the print as light as possible, I printed at just 0.4mm walls and 0.45mm top/bottom thickness. I also used Cura's Support Blocker and Per Model Setting's "Modify Settings for Overlaps" to add 20% infill - but just for the bottom 6mm of the ornament. I recommend a layer height of 0.15mm.

You won't need a raft, but I recommend using a brim.

There are other parts of the ornaments that appear to need infill, but they are self-healing and do not show in the final print if you leave out the infill. Infill is really only needed to the bottom of the inside of the ornament. Adding infill everywhere will really increase the weight, which means it may not work on all Christmas trees.

For supports, I used:

- Support Placement: Everywhere
- Support Overhang Angle: 60 degrees
- Support Pattern: Concentric
- Support Density: 15%
- Enable Support Brim: Yes
- Support Brim: 3mm
- Support Roof Density: 75%
- Support Floor Density: 50%

If you print with 0.4mm walls and you wind up with holes in your print, I recommend increasing the flow rate slightly and maybe reduce travel and print speeds.

Version of the ornament with no built-in supports. I recommend printing the version with built-in supports before trying to print this version.
