Ornament Ball

A filigree 'Mommy' bauble to hang with love on the tree. Despite the plain filename, this is a flat openwork Christmas ornament: a round bauble outline topped with a generous ribbon bow, flanked by two sprigs of holly leaves and berries, with the word Mommy cut boldly across the centre in a serif script. Printed here in silver filament, the see-through lattice catches the light and casts a lacy shadow, a heartfelt personal decoration rather than a solid ball. It is made for gifting: a keepsake for mum on Christmas morning, an ornament tied to a present, a stocking filler, or a year-marked memento. Swap the silver for gold, red, or a sparkly PLA to match any tree. Print notes • Print flat on the bed, one or two perimeters, decorative face up, no supports needed for this 2.5D relief. • A small brim helps the thin holly tips and bow loops stay stuck through the print. • Because it is essentially a single-wall silhouette, a clean first layer is everything; level the bed and slow the outer wall for the sharpest text. • Add a loop or drill a small hole at the top of the bow for ribbon; a coat of clear varnish lifts a metallic filament to a real shine. Print a whole family set, Mommy, Daddy and the kids, for a coordinated tree.
