Knitted Christmas Pudding Ornament - No AMS

A chunky knitted Christmas pudding with dripping custard, holly and a happy face. No AMS: simple parts that glue together.

Files

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

• 3MF, AMS: kawaii_christmas_pudding_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, Robin, Mince Pie, Christmas Tree.

Christmas pudding, minus the brandy and the arguments about whether anyone actually likes it.

What do I print?

• Hanging ornament: 19.9 g, 2 h 09 (sliced for the A1 mini)

• AMS, 2 plates, up to 4 colours each: 21.3 g, 1 h 37 (sliced for the X1 Carbon)

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 48 mm across and 35 mm tall to the top of the custard (38 mm with the holly).

How to make it

1. Print the face and raisins in black, the cheeks in pink, the pudding in dark brown, the custard plate in ivory white, the holly in green and the berries in red.

2. Glue the face and the raisins into the pudding (every raisin is the same, so any fits any pocket), then the ten drips: each pocket fits one drip length, named in mm on the plate.

3. Glue the custard top on (the two pins only fit one way), then the holly sprig into its slot.

4. Push the loop's tab through the berries' slot and the custard into the pudding, then glue.

Printing

• Every part prints flat or upright with no supports; the add-ons have flat backs and drop into flat-bottomed pockets.

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

• The loop takes twine, thin cord or ribbon up to about 6 mm wide, and its tab is glued into the pudding itself.

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 Mince Pie and the Christmas Tree.

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.
