K40 for the Holidays and votive lanterns.

I’ve been in an odd holiday mood, and I am just as shocked as those people who know me. I normally get my Humbug on early and finish strong, so this early season spirt is an odd one.

Candle Lantern

I have been kicking around the idea and did a quick search on thingaverse and found thing 2755535, “Decorative LED Votive Lantern”. I loaded the thing up in Lightburn and sent it to the Cohesion3d Mini I had installed in my K40. Like magic the samples came out, and fit up nice. I got some LED Votives for them for safety. They are pretty nice for the less than half a kong buck price if you buy a pile. You cannot get the coin cell batteries for that to make your own.

Nativity Scene Votive Holder.

So now to satisfy my Christmas holiday mood I found some SVG files on Pixabay.com. The first was a Nativity Figures which I added the Star of Bethlehem and remixed the Thingaverse model in Boxy-SVG. I then fired up the Orion Motor Tech K40 with mods and presto like magic. Three wise men and their 3 camels visiting Mary, Joseph, a shepard, and his live stock all paying homage to Sweet Baby Jesus. The openings display images on the room backdrop.

Bonus Holiday spirt for others

Not everyone likes Sweet Baby Jesus holiday themes, so I gave thingaverse a search and found thing 603237. The Tie Fighter & X-Wing Laser Cut Ornaments were a bit hard to part out as they have tabs. But once freed from the card Tree Ornaments were had.

Now to decide if I should rush out some samples to all the friends and family for the Holidays…..
