Are you looking for a digital download project for Christmas? Perhaps Etsy’s Blood Moon Forge Art and STL files for 3d printers can help.
The Christmas Krampus reviews well, as does the store.
One catch, though, is that the files are too large for Etsy, so you do not get an immediate download. Instead, Lee, the owner of Blood Moon Forge, emails you a Mega URL to download the print instructions from, and if you distrust Mega, alternative arrangements can be made. However, that’s all delays.
Both the supported and unsupported variants of the design are available in STL. Once you have them, though, you do not have the right to resell them.
Blood Moon Forge offers other seasonal and geeky files, and each is a personal project.
Christmas 3D printing project ideas
Geeks will be getting 3d printers for Christmas gifts, and Krampus and friends may well be a perfect project. If not, here are some other ideas.
