Ready-to-print thermoform mold kit for a hollow Christmas ornament
Ready-to-print thermoform kit for a hollow Christmas tree ornament: heat a thin plastic sheet, press it between the female and male molds, and it forms a glossy tree-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.
Complete kit: the ZIP carries the mold pair, base plates and closures, ready to slice and print
Two closure styles: Connector (screw cap + clip; the cap doubles as the hanger for a ribbon or cord) and EdgeRim (glued edge rim with an extra rim that holds everything with a single thread), each in its own folder
Material split: the molds MUST be 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, cap and clip 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
Customizable version available: this printable is the ready-made counterpart of the Thermoform Generator model
