Knitted Christmas Robin Ornament - No AMS

A round, chubby knitted robin with a big red breast, a white tummy and a happy little face. No AMS: one colour per plate, glued together.

Files

• 3MF: kawaii_robin.3mf. Bambu Studio project with every plate laid out and my tested settings. PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer open the geometry too.

• 3MF, AMS: kawaii_robin_ams.3mf. The same parts on 2 plates with the colours set, at most 4 a plate, printed one part at a time.

Part of my Knitted Christmas Ornaments collection. The others: Wreath, Gingerbread, Mince Pie, Christmas Tree, Christmas Pudding.

The only robin that will sit still for a photo.

What do I print?

• Hanging ornament: 11.8 g, 1 h 32 (sliced for the A1 mini)

• AMS, 2 plates, up to 4 colours each: 12.1 g, 1 h 15 (sliced for the A1 mini)

No AMS? Every plate in the no-AMS file is one colour: just load the next spool. Got an AMS? The AMS file puts the same parts on 2 plates with the colours set, at most 4 a plate so one AMS is enough, and prints one part at a time so it only changes colour a few times. Either way the parts glue together the same. About 59 mm across (with the tail) and 54 mm tall (66 mm to the top of the loop), 13 mm deep at the beak.

How to make it

1. Print the eyes and beak in black, the cheeks in pink, the robin in brown, the breast in red and the belly in ivory white.

2. Glue the breast and belly side by side into their shared pocket, the beak into the hole at the top of the breast, then the eyes and cheeks.

3. The loop is moulded on, so just thread a ribbon through it.

Printing

• Every part prints flat on its back with no supports; the add-ons drop into flat-bottomed pockets.

• The breast and belly carry knit, so they print at 0.12 mm like the body.

• Brims are on (5 mm) for the small parts; peel them off.

• The loop has a 6 mm hole: it takes twine, cord or ribbon up to about 5 mm wide.

Prints at 0.12 mm (fine) for the knit detail; small add-ons at 0.20 mm.

• Material: PLA Matte; eyes and smile PLA Basic Black, cheeks PLA Basic Hot Pink

• Layers: 0.12 mm (fine); small add-ons 0.20 mm

• Walls: 2

• Infill: 10 %

• Brim: 5 mm, outer only

• Supports: none

In the photos

Every photo is a print from the 3MF here. The group shot shows it with the Wreath and the Gingerbread.

A decoration, not a toy.

Update log

• v1.1: added the AMS file.

• v1.0.1: first release on Printables (no face fit test, hanging version only).

The design and testing here are mine, Claude helped with the code that builds the shapes.

If it is useful, a like and a make with a photo really help. I read every comment.
