Description

These large and small articulated gingerbread men are print in place designs that have moving arms, legs, and a neck. Not a large bend, but still nice.

 

The only recommendation I have printing-wise is make sure the joints are strong, so if you can add infill there, do it. I share in the photos where I added boxes to put 100% infill in sections of the design.

 

Designed in Tinkercad. Used mostly basic shapes and scribble for the frosting decorations.

 

Pretty proud of the design as it's my first try with print in place and joints. I messed around with the articulated joint quite a bit and would give them to my daughter to play with to see if they would break. Currently, I don't think she's broken this joint.

 

You can put a hole in the head for hanging on the tree, but he actually stands and lays in the branches quite well! Also looks great in a stocking!

 

I put in the blank gingerbread person so you can import it into your favorite CAD program and add your own frosting decorations if you want!

Also has Instructable to go along with it: https://www.instructables.com/Articulated-Gingerbread-Man/

 

Edit and decorate your own Gingerbread man on Tinkercad (please share the results here!): https://www.tinkercad.com/things/bhqRDR09xfe-articulated-print-in-place-gingerbread-man

 

I haven't printed this yet on my Bambu, but it has a good base and I don't imagine you'll have issues with sticking.

 

Some possible recommendations are ironing the frosting layer if you want that smooth and using Herbert Curve infill on the top layer of the gingerbread for texture as I saw recommended here for another gingerbread design: https://www.printables.com/model/98582-pull-string-gingerbread-man-print-in-place

printed 3 of the gingerbread men in a Bambu labs filament matte latte brown with the top being printed in Bambu labs matte ice white, the quality came out amazing on this print and I have attached some images of my print outcome.

Very cool model! I printed a small army of them for my son to give to his kindy friends. They turned out great, the Hilbert "ginger bread" texture gave a great contrast with silk copper PLA.

Very Nice model, i dont have the AMS, but i stopped it to change the filament, and the result was awesome.

Messing up a filament change one too many times is what finally convinced me to pick up a printer with an AMS! I'm glad you're better at it then I am.
