Prusa Mini Advent Calendar - 2025

Concept

Advent calendars are a fun way to count down to Christmas with your kids. A small present every day of December leading up to the big day. I gathered together 24 models, each of which can be printed in under 1 hour. If you are looking for a fun project with your original Prusa Mini, I challenge you to print a new print every day in December. 

Warning: Printables now features G-code previews, which may spoil the surprise a bit.

Easy Printing

I want each day's print to come out great with no fuss. If you have one roll of PLA, you should be able to print the whole calendar. To that end:

• no supports
• no color changes
• any PLA
• any color 

What I Did

I sliced each model and printed it on my Mini+ to test if the Mini can print it. If you have your first layer dialed in, they should work for you. 

Makes

Please do not post makes of this model to keep the surprise for others. I have left links to each of the models I collected in the Spoilers section. Post your makes there, the creators of the models should get all the credit. 

Printing

Upload the G-code and hit print. All models are pre-sliced and ready to go. I only provide G-code, so each day remains secret until you print it. All models are sliced for Generic PLA. I have tested all the prints using Voxel PLA+

Processing

I picked models that do not require support, so each model should be ready to go right off the print bed. 

Spoilers

If you want each day to be a surprise, hold off on reading further or checking out any “makes”.  Below, I will give credit to each of the models I used in this calendar. I encourage you to visit the link for each day after you have printed it to learn more or post makes. 

Concessions

Finding 24 models that fit my rules and have a license that allows me to use them turned out to be more of a challenge than I anticipated. A couple of days have print times over an hour by a few minutes. I hope you will agree that the extra minutes are worth it. I chose many more “spiral vase mode” models than I had planned. It is a great technique, but I did not want the majority of the calendar to consist of the same type of model.

Credits

I only created one of these models. All models are licensed under a licence that allows distribution with credit. Follow the links below to learn more about the original model and the creator who deserves all the credit.
