Inspired by fixumdude’s Snowflake Tie Fighter, I downloaded Maxime’s Millennium Falcon model on GrabCAD, modified and redesigned it for better printability and added a snowflake cutout, using a snowflake design from Lia Aramburu.

Model Variants and Printing Info

I designed the ornament to be about 90 mm long. Thus, you need a nozzle diameter smaller than 0.4 mm for the small attachments, i.e., the gun turrets, dish holder and dish. I used a 0.25 mm nozzle for the attachments and a 0.4 mm nozzle for the main body parts.

Assembly is easy. No glue is required. The two main body parts are held together through the snap fit connection on the side cones and the cockpit. The gun turrets and dish holder have a conical press fit. The tiltable dish is snapped onto the dish holder.

If you don’t own a smaller nozzle and don’t want to scale up the model:

There is a version of the main body parts without the holes for the dish holder and gun turrets. The main body, cockpit and side cones can be printed with a 0.4 mm nozzle. I suggest printing with PLA and a layer height of 0.1 mm.
