After checking in an ornament for the challenge by Dan Owens, I wanted to make one similar. His was 3D printed. So, I fired up my computer with OpenSCAD, 3D design software. Then why not show you how it is done. I did not want to make a training video - only an overview.

The design is simple to implement if one already knows the software. It is a process of adding and subtracting elements on the screen. Then slice (a technical term) and print.

Finally, turn a tree from mesquite and finials from birch. The 3D material is natural color PLA. The 3D printed globe is 2 by 3. Finials add another 3 inches to the length.

Meanwhile, voting for favorites in the challenge ends 11 December. Pick yours at www.OrnamentChallenge.com

Enjoy.
