Thermoform Flower

Thermoform kit for a hollow hanging flower ornament

Thermoform Flower

Ready-to-print thermoform kit for a hollow flower ornament: heat a thin plastic sheet, press it between the female and male molds, and it forms a glossy flower-shaped shell. Each shell closes onto a printed base plate, and the two halves join into one hollow hanging ornament — no customization needed, just slice, print and form. The formed flower measures about 10.5 × 10 cm (design 105.5 × 100.9 mm), with a hanging hole for a ribbon or cord.

Key Features

Complete kit: the ZIP carries the mold pair, base plates and closures, ready to slice and print

Two closure styles: Connector (screw caps + clips; this flower uses TWO threads, so two caps and clips hold the pair shut, and the hanging hole is cut through for a ribbon or cord) and EdgeRim (glued edge rim with an extra rim that holds everything with a single thread, one cap), each in its own folder

Material split: the molds are preferably printed in PETG so they don't stick to the PLA base when it gets hot during forming (PLA fuses to PLA; PETG doesn't); base plates, rim, caps and clips print in regular PLA

Plating options: each set includes a Full plate (everything at once) and Left/Right plates (one half each), plus separate Molds and Connectors files (the EdgeRim set also has a separate Rim file)

Customizable version available: this printable is the ready-made counterpart of the Thermoform Generator model
