GOODesign is a design studio established in Seoul, Korea by a representative who has been active in product design and 3D CG field for 20 years. As a design company that pursues a reasonable and differentiated digital design, it has always presented a new direction through working with clients such as Hyundai Motor, Siemens Korea and beiersdorf. This time, we have put out the life product for 3D printing by utilizing various technique design based on the shape of the Class-A surface. These products are especially the result of deep research on the 3D printing dominant shape that can not be mass-produced using a mold.
※ Please, check the slice settings under the description. This design cannot be printed unless you follow the suggested slice settings. ※
※ LED tea light pedestal and snowman must be printed separately. The settings of these two parts are completely different. ※
During the Christmas season, you need a lot of small, varied lights. Because a lot of small lights create a better atmosphere than big ones. So, I've already made some Christmas lights, but I thought it wasn't enough, so I made a snowman light this time.
One of the printing methods unique to FDM 3D printers is the Vase mode. As the thinnest prints of any size, this print method is the best way to print lights. However, it is not easy to design because there are restrictions on the shape, but this time I tried again.
I said Vase mode, but simply setting it to Vase mode won't print.
In order to print this snowman light, you must adhere to the settings I recommend faithfully. Otherwise, the print quality may deteriorate. Be sure to check the slice settings carefully.
Just place a tea light LED candle on the light pedestal and place it on the bottom of the snowman.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas with these lights!
Merry Christmas!

What would the settings be for the Bambu slicer/ P1P printer? Top of the hat is not filled in and small holes at the right shoulder and hand.
Just printed these out last week for early Christmas gifts! They came out great on my Ender 3 Pro. I found color changing tea lights on Amazon. Ithink they look great!
It's a rather difficult design to print, but you printed it so nicely. Besides, it's so cool to print not one, but several.
In particular, using color-changing lights is a great idea.
Thanks for sharing your print photos and experiences!
Happy holiday~
HI,
The snowman looks really great. However still having issues above left mitten and top left of his top hat. I have followed the instructions to the letter and still the same results. I did incrementally increase the flow rate now up to 126 still same result. Using latest Cura version printing on a Kobra Max with 0.6 nozzle. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Yours looks exactly the same as mine, double check the top of the nose there's a hole there in mine. In fact if you look through from the bottom with some light above you'll probably see there's more holes than you think. I've resorted to filling with white plastic putty from vallejo and painting. But that's not the point the idea is to light it up as it is.
Please increase material flow and decrease print speed.
Thank you~
Yep, same here, just printed this on an ender 3 direct drive come off ok but with holes on left hand cuff, top of nose and lots of holes beneath holly on hat around the rim. Checked Cura 5 it says its ok but when you check 'preview' those holes are exactly in those places. all settings double checked and exactly your advised settings. So is it a case of slowing down or up the flow?
Just turned 90 degrees in the hope it might print differently and no there's still holes in the same 3 places so looking forward to any advice because I shouldn't really need to use plastic putty to fill.
Unfortunatelly with errors in Cura! Nice model, really like it, but the outline is not closed. Slicer (Cura) per description, also tried to tune but no luck... Left hand where the gloves start and hat where the ornament is, has nasty openings. Can already be seen in the slicer and unfortuantelly is also printed like that.
Should be mentioned in the description that the outline is not closed - cannot use outdoors with those openings... :-(
It looks like that in the preview of the slicer, but if you print it with the slicing settings we told you, those parts won't be pierced. The preview only shows the path the nozzle will take, nothing more. As I told you in the settings, if you increase the material flow to 120%, a lot of material flows out and blocks this part. Don't forget to slow down the print speed enough!
If you print with the settings we've given you, you'll be just as successful as other users have been.
I use exactly the Cura settings you described and the result comes out pretty much exactly like the slicer shows it. At exact those positions the model stays open…
Tried to further increase the flow up to 150% which did decrease the print quality but it still is open. Tried to decrease further the layer height and also the speed… still the same.
It is a nice model - but at those two locations the issue is with the model, not with the printer setup.
I doubt that my machine is worse adjusted or performing than the majority of machines is… typically it runs pretty smooth but with this model the results are a bit disappointing.
Please look again into the model if you can improve the design in those locations.
You are rite..I tried with cura and superslicer and both spots are open. Its bad designed.
Same here. Same problem time after time with the suggested Cura settings.
Thanks, but i'm having trouble with the top of the hat
prusaslicer, spiral vase mode, mk3s+
Satin white PLA
In informations is "※ When using Prusa slicer, be sure to uncheck Vase mode! ※"
Prusa i3 MK3S+
Perfect instructions. Very clean print :)
We are happy that you succeeded printing!
Merry Christmas!
Thank you, it's printing right now ;)
But can you make one for MMU2s unit with red scarf and black eyes and green buttons in front? :-)
I understand that MMU cannot be used in Vase mode.
Thank you~
Printed perfect from instructions om my Ender3 S1 Pro with Sonic Pad.
We are happy that you succeeded printing!
Merry Christmas!
