Market Day 2025 - General Stock Items 2

Challenge: To produce a unique and original decoration suitable for Christmas.

Background: As mentioned previously we are looking for examples for items that can be used to allow purchasing during our 2025 School Market Day.  We have previously showed examples of the generic key rings that are specific to our locality.   

One of the items that we have produced in quantity in the past has been 'Christmas Themed' decorations suitable for hanging from a tree.  We have produced entire slideshows of examples of this kind of work that has been featured here on this blog during the past ten years.  You can view that slideshow here.

This new design shown left is a new example.   This was designed by a student using a combination of resources, Tinkercad was used for the design of the shape.   The image of the deer was downloaded and imported from Thingiverse.   The additional images were created using the main Tinkercad interface.

Level of Difficulty: Medium - all the elements are relatively easy to put into place and this could be completed independently within a short space of time without any input from the teacher.

Size: The print measures 100mm across and is 110mm high.  The design is only 4mm wide - however this is reflected in the purpose of the design which is to be a static print on display.

Cost: The print used 11g of filament.    Based on this we could produce 90 units with a single roll.   The cost per unit that we would need to break even with this print is $0.43c (NZD).    This could therefore determine the cost point for students.

Timeframe: 1 hour - this is completed on the Snapmaker printer.
