Tips for the Best Christmas Gifts
🎨 Use Festive Colors
Red, green, gold, and silver filaments make your 3D printed names feel extra Christmassy. Silk PLA adds a premium metallic sheen.
📏 Size Matters
For desk displays, aim for 15-20cm wide. For ornaments, keep them compact at 8-10cm. Use the size slider in our generator to get it just right.
🎀 Add a Special Touch
Consider adding a base plate so the name stands on its own. You can also print the year alongside the name for a dated keepsake.

No worries! There are plenty of ways to get your 3D printed name gift made:
- Get your own 3D printer — it's easier and cheaper than you think
- Use a local makerspace or library with 3D printers
