Print Tuesday
Every Tuesday, we feature a new 3D printing project to inspire your creativity. From practical household items to artistic sculptures, there's something for everyone.
Glowing Winter Village
A snow-covered hillside village of little cottages, fir trees, and a winding road that glows warm like a quiet Christmas evening once you light it from inside with LEDs. The snowy rooftops and fine details need supports, so plan on some cleanup, but the lit-up result is worth it.
Difficulty: Hard
Print Time: Long print (many hours), supports required

Previous Picks
A print-in-place articulated T-Rex toy and keychain with a wiggly segmented body and no supports needed. The 3MF ships with multicolor settings for AMS-style printers, and at about 134 mm it makes a quick desk fidget or backpack charm.
A print-in-place fruit fly trap whose lid ring of small light slots lures flies into a dark, shielded chamber they can't find their way out of. Fill it to the marked line with apple cider vinegar and a drop of dish soap, set it by the fruit bowl, and rinse it out by hand when it's full.
A snap-together clamp that grips the edge of a tarp, tent, or gazebo so you can tie on a rope, strap, bungee, or tent peg. Print the jaws and locking ring with no supports, then push the ring up to lock the teeth, with no hardware needed.
