Quick, there’s no time to explain! Here are a few models, which will make awesome Christmas gifts:
Keychain smartphone stand
You can print many of these in minutes! They’re super cute but also a bit useful, kudos to Shira for the design!
Great for: kids, group of friends, girlfriend/boyfriend
Mantis clamp
This print is super cool by itself. But it’s also a great helper hand when soldering. And it prints in-place, no supports or complicated assembly necessary. Designed by zuberio.
Great for: makers, (and yourself!)
Kenobi Lightsaber
Just finished Mandalorian? Riding the Star Wars wave? A lot of the props from Mandalorian can be quite tricky to print, there’s no time for a complicated project. But a lightsaber? That’s doable! This awesome Kenobi Lightsaber is not an overly complex project, but still looks absolutely incredible. Great job by Daniel Josvai.
If it still looks like a bit too much work to get done in time for Christmas, there’s also a pretty sweet one piece Collapsing lightsaber by 3D Printing World.
Great for: Star Wars fans, kids
Vase
Everyone who enjoys plant keeping will appreciate one more pot – you can never have too many! Resize the model depending on what you think the receiver will find the most useful (I like wide pots, for example) and make sure you crank the layer height all the way up, to get the print done as soon as possible. Created by Wilko. But you can find a ton of other designs on PrusaPrinters, just pick your favorite 🙂
Great for: Green thumbs
Elephant sponge dryer
Everyone hates wet sponges left in the sink. With this gift, it’s a thing of the past! 🙂 We suggest printing this from PETG or other even more temperature resistant materials so that you can clean it in a dishwasher. A nice design by FerCutu.
Found your favorite? Print it, pack it and voilá, you have an extra gift.

Happy printing!
The Elephant sponge dryer is very stupid idea. Reason why FDM is not good for Food storage and you put a dirty sponge to dry in one.
I really don’t understand what you mean. You can use FDM printed objects for food storage depending on which filament you use to print the object.
And also, I don’t think that a sponge can be considered as food ?!?
Learn about Harborage. It’s not the plastic of the model that folks worry about regarding food safety. It’s the small gaps and inclusions that can propagate bacterial growth.
Well its not like the sponge has a small holes and gaps.
You should probably not eat from FDM printed parts(like you should not eat from dirty sponge) but they are food safe. So cookie cutters and sponge holders are safe 😉
Nope. Not even a cookie cutter is a good idea. The problem is that you can never really clean FDM printed parts due to the many very small gaps and so bacteria will grow easily.
In other words: Do not use FDM printed parts in the kitchen! It’s just not worth the risk.
Sorry to sound harsh but some of these comments are really really short sighted.
FDM creates a FINE structure. However almost everything needs to be treated or altered to be 100% food safe. A ceramic mug isnt food safe until it is glazed/ sealed.
Yet you would never say that pottery isnt a safe method of making cups 😀
Dave that said a cookie cutter isnt even a good idea.
Personally I just dont feel its an issue, if its food safe plastic, and you gave it a good clean, it is doubtful it would harm you. If you are using antibacterial soap, and making sure you are not soaking in in raw meat every night, i feel the worry is not justified. It wouldnt be 100% food safe by definition but im ok with that.
We dont sterilize all the items we use in the kitchen, no one has an autoclave on there worktop giving those mugs a good going over.
Personally if i was that worried or if it was a gift where i could not see how they would clean or treat the item, I would give my FDM model a food grade epoxy coating and thats that.
Jeez, telling someone to learn about harborage, that you shouldnt use FDM prints in the kitchen, next time dont look to tear something down, just because you do not have the foresight to see past your own limited imagination. A food grade epoxy coating as a suggestion would seal and create a food grade surface, yet all this guy got was negativity and defeatism.
Learn about what it is to be captious.
P.S FerCutu, i think your design is cool.
Good luck and success to everyone!

FDM in the kitchen is fine, as long as you use your brain. Putting whole fruit in a 3D printed bowl isn’t an issue. Eating your oatmeal out of that bowl, not a good idea. Anything that doesn’t touch food, like the spacers under my knife holder, are good to go.
