A Christmas ball with the nativity printed into its shell as a lithophane: white plastic of varying thickness, so the scene only appears when light comes through it. Hang it in front of a window or over a tree light and the figures come up out of a blank white ball - leave it in the dark and it is just a sphere, which is half the trick. Print it in white; anything else muddies the picture. About three inches across and 29 grams. Designed by Chavez84 and printed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).

Four round ornaments with a winter scene cut straight through each one: a tree with birds, a deer in a wood, a cottage, and a snow-laden branch. Held up to a window or a tree light the scene is a silhouette; against a wall it is an outline. Printed flat from a single plate, with a hole in each for the string. The set of four is 25 grams.

A candy machine that turns a canning jar into a dispenser: a base that screws onto the jar's own lid ring, a knob and a printed pin, so no screw is needed anywhere. Fill the jar with sweets, fit the base, turn the knob and a few drop through. The designer also ships a stronger pin for silk PLA, and a second file for the narrower Hema store jar.

A plectrum printed flat at half a millimetre, 27 mm tall and 24 mm across, with the designer's design across the face - the pun in the name is the whole idea. Thin picks bend more than thick ones, so this is the one for strumming rather than for shredding. Designed by marshal.meacham and printed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).

A plate of music notes cut flat at 3 mm: single quavers, beamed pairs, a dotted note and the odd small rest, from 25 mm up to 67 mm long, so a wall, a noticeboard or the front of a piano can be dressed with them. They print lying down, which means no supports and a clean face straight off the plate. Designed by EcneNomma and printed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).

A capo in two printed parts: a jaw that sits across the strings and the lever that clamps it down, 92 mm wide so it spans a standard six-string fretboard. It goes on the neck above the fret and holds the strings at the new position, which is what lets one shape be played in any key. Designed by Kevdev, a remix of the Guitar Capo by HarleyPrints, and printed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0). Shown as a render of the printable model, not a photograph.

A sleigh and a reindeer, printed twice each: the sleigh has a curled runner and a seat, the reindeer has antlers and a tail, and both are 5.5 mm deep so they hold shape from the side. The plate holds four earrings, a pair of sleighs and a pair of reindeer, and they mix on one ear each way. Shown as a render of the printable model, not a photograph.

Four Halloween cutters - pumpkin, ghost, bat and the like - about 3" across each, printed with a cutting rim deep enough for biscuit dough or Play-Doh. One plate prints the set. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Christmas ornaments in the shape of balls, in three sizes - 40, 60 and 80 mm across - with the number of double ribs going up with the size: six on the smallest, ten in the middle and fourteen on the largest, each rib 3 mm wide. Each ball prints in two pieces, the ball and the bottom that closes it, and the designer prints that bottom with a support so the curve comes out clean and the ball sits tight against it.

A practice mute for trombone, printed in three parts: the long tapered body that goes down into the bell, the flared cup that caps it, and the small collar that keeps the two together. 250 mm long and 193 mm across the cup, so it takes a full-size bell. The cup is what does the muting, so the horn can be played in an apartment without the neighbours learning the set list.

Four plectrum shapes, two of each, printed flat as one sheet: a teardrop, a jazz point, a wide triangle and a rounded standard, at 1.0 and 1.4 mm so a player can find the thickness they like without buying four packs. Each pick is about 34 mm long and the texture on the back of the thicker ones keeps a sweaty thumb where it belongs.

A rail that a CD jewel case stands in, ribbed along its length so the case leans back instead of sliding forward, on four short feet that keep the disc off the shelf. 149 mm wide and 30 mm tall - the width of a standard case, with a little room either side.

Five angels cut as openwork ornaments: flowing gowns, layered wings and a halo, each a little different and still of a piece with the others. No supports needed - print them flat, thread a string through the hole at the top and hang them where the light comes through the wings. The five together fill about nine inches square of plate.

A pick holder with four feet that stands on an amp or a desk: slanted slots take plectrums by the tip so they can be pulled out one at a time, and the block is 90 mm long, 28 mm wide and 12 mm tall. The slots are cut at an angle, which is what stops a pick sliding back down into the holder. Designed by gareth7562 and printed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).

Thirteen ornaments off two plates: eight hollow shapes with caps, two snowflakes, an eight-point star, a wreath and a set of digits, all about 50 mm across, printed from one spool of Galaxy filament so the colour shifts shade by shade through every bauble. Enough for a tree, or for a tree and the windows. Designed by 3D Crafts and printed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0). Shown as a render of the printable model, not a photograph.

A santa hat with the tip curling over: the brim is a raised band, the crown is domed and the tip hangs past the brim, so the shape reads from the side as well as the front. Each hat is 23.8 x 15.3 mm and 5.5 mm tall with a hole through the crown for a hook, and the plate prints six of them, which is three pairs. Shown as a render of the printable model, not a photograph.

A lidded storage box for microscope slides: the box and its lid print as two pieces and close over the slides. 3.4" x 6.9" x 1.3" overall. Shown as a render of the printable model, not a photograph.

A snowflake cut to sit over the top corner of a door frame, so the corner of a door is dressed for the season. It prints flat and reads well in one colour or in several - the designer's own photos show both. Designed by lindnjoe and printed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 (CC BY-SA 4.0).

A ten-point star for the top of a Christmas tree. The plate carries two star faces with a mount and two pegs, so the star goes together without glue. Designed by hyperZ and printed under Creative Commons Public Domain, so it is free of conditions. Shown as a render of the printable model, not a photograph.

A Christmas tree with a twist - literally: the cone is a spiral, sculpted rather than stepped, so it catches the light from a window instead of sitting there like a green triangle. About 5.9 inches tall, which is table, shelf or desk size rather than tree size. Designed by Fprint3D and printed under Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 (CC BY-ND 4.0).

Bauble hooks printed as a snap-off blister: a flat frame of S-hooks joined by 0.4 mm bridges, so you snap off as many as you need with your fingers and the rest stay in the frame, in the box, untangled. A couple of minutes of printing replaces the annual fight with a ball of wire hooks. The frame is about 5.3 by 1.7 inches and weighs 3 grams.

A desk golf set in eleven printed pieces: a green you can rearrange piece by piece, a ball, a club and the furniture around it. About 3" a piece and 115 g of plastic for the set. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A tealight holder that only shows what it is once the candle is lit: a reindeer standing in a winter wood, cut as a silhouette inside a circular frame, with a notch behind it for a small LED candle. The light throws the trees and the reindeer onto the wall rather than just glowing. About 5.2 inches across. Designed by Walter 3D and printed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).

A little town under snow that prints as one piece: rooftops, houses and trees drifting into each other, with holes modelled through the houses so a micro LED string can be threaded in and the windows light from inside. This is the designer's fixed-roof version, and davidkelly021 publishes a separate base for it with room for a battery pack. Printed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).

A flat floral bookmark: one thin spray of three openwork blossoms and leaves that lies between the pages and reads against the paper, marking the page without thickening the book. 5.9 x 4.4" overall and 1.6 mm thin, printed flat in one piece in a few minutes. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A flat organizer that divides a kitchen drawer into compartments - it lies 2 mm deep, so it adds dividers without eating the depth of the drawer. 9.6" across, printed flat in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Nix3D

A bookmark of a book with a coffee cup resting on the stack - flat, 3.7" tall, and thin enough that it does not mark the pages. Printed in one piece in about a minute. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Four wedding cutters with stamp inserts - the ring, the cake slice and two more - for biscuits at an engagement or a hen do. About 3" across each, and the same set cuts playdough for the small guests. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Merilno3D

A pencil cup wrapped in overlapping scales, so it reads as a little pinecone on the desk while holding a fistful of coloured pencils. 3.3" across and 3.1" tall, printed in one piece. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A rest for a wooden spoon: the bowl sits in the cradle and the handle lies over the rim, so the drips land in the holder instead of the hob. 4.7" across, printed in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Jirka108

A holder that stands cutlery up in a drawer or on a counter, with slots for forks, knives and spoons and a low front so you can see what you are reaching for. 5.9" long, printed in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

An upright organizer for the utensils that live on the counter: compartments of different heights, a flat back to go against a wall, and a base wide enough that a ladle does not tip it. 8" long, printed in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by lunatiic

A fridge egg dispenser: eggs roll down a ramp and out of the front one at a time, so the oldest is always the next to come out. 9.7" long and holds a dozen, printed in three pieces - the ramp, the body and the front cup - with no supports. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by specialman

A kitchen roll holder with a weighted base: the disc takes sand or coins, so the roll stays put while you pull one sheet off with one hand. 9.1" tall, printed as a base and a post. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A hexagonal fidget that prints flat in a few minutes and clicks between your fingers - no supports, no assembly, no settings to tune. 2.0" across. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by LangHjornArt

Ten layered fidget discs off one plate - each about 3" across, each with its own cut-through pattern and its own way of spinning and clicking. Pick the design you want; the picture on each chip is that disc. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by PenguinPrototypes

A ball that screws into its own cage - the thread holds it, and it spins from one end to the other without ever coming free. 3.9" tall, printed in place in two pieces that come off the plate already assembled. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Elaak

A cactus that clicks: the body snaps onto a keyboard switch, so the whole cactus is the button and the click comes from the switch inside it. Four designs, sold one at a time - pick the cactus you want, about 1.3" tall, and it prints in two pieces that snap together without glue. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by UKSTL

A plain fidget spinner with no ornament on it at all: a body, three arms and a bearing seat in the middle. Five sizes come off the one plate, from a 1.6" one that fits in a pocket up to a 2.7" one, and the plate also carries the grips that go in the bearing seat. Pick the size you want - each is printed as one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A chef's hat charm with a banded brim, tall enough to read at a glance on a keyring. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A frog that jumps: press its back and it springs off the table, and the pond bowl catches it. Pick the frog on its own or the bowl with it - the bowl is 5" across, and three frogs fit on one plate if you want a set. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Niski

An inner cone passes right through an outer one and neither of them comes apart - that is the whole trick, and it prints as a single piece. Roll it in your hands and the two bodies slide past each other, which is the part that keeps fingers busy. Printed in two colours the cones separate in the eye and the pass-through reads as impossible; printed in one it looks like a solid cone until it moves. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

Design by What3d

A textured clicker with a body and a set of button caps: the caps press into the body and click under a thumb, and the spare sizes in the set let you choose how stiff it feels. 2.6" long, printed in one go. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by ArmadilloFDM

A pencil that bends: the barrel is printed as a chain of flexing segments, so it folds in your hand and springs straight again, and it still looks like a pencil with a point at one end. 4.8" long, printed in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by TinkerTogether

Two clickers that look like lunch: a bao bun with its pleats, and half an avocado with the stone still in. Each is two printed halves that snap together over a switch, so the whole thing is the button. Pick the one you want - about 1.8" across. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by iNkosi3D

Two bands that print as one piece: the finned outer ring's ridge sits in the inner band's groove, so it is locked on but free to spin, with no bearings and nothing to assemble. The groove is a BALL RACE - a circular channel, with the ridge as the same circle held 0.4 mm off it - so the surfaces the two parts face each other across are vertical, which is what lets it print in place and still turn. The ring is 27 mm across and stands 7 mm, and the fins are trapezoids: wide where they join the sleeve, narrow at the tip, so nothing on it is a blade waiting to be knocked. It comes in three sizes, 16.5 mm (US 6), 18.2 mm (US 8) and 19.8 mm (US 10) across the finger hole, all at the same price, and the download is a 3MF with a plate for each, so you can print whichever fits - or all three. Print it with a brim and z-hop switched on: a small ring has a small footprint, and z-hop keeps a moving nozzle clear of what is already printed. The STL on its own is the smallest of the three. The photo is a render of the printable model - real photos of the print go up once the first batch comes off the printer.

A 3x3 clicker pad: nine keys on one printed body, each on its own spring, so the whole thing clicks under a thumb like a tiny keyboard. 2.6" square, printed in one piece with nothing to assemble. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Print3DFamilyFidgets

A bag peg that works like a clothes peg: two arms on a printed pin, so the ends you squeeze and the jaws are on opposite sides of the pivot, and squeezing opens the jaws. A disc on the upper arm turns inside a socket on the lower one, printed in place with a quarter of a millimetre of air round it - press the peg open and you can feel the pin move. Behind it one strip sweeps round and back to the other arm as a scroll you can see through, and that scroll is the spring: it closes the jaws and it is what you feel working when you squeeze. The mouth is a square-wave channel cut through both jaws at once, so the two sets of teeth come from the same cut and interlock - every tooth of one jaw stands in the hollow of the other - and along the outside of each arm, where a thumb goes, a row of sawteeth bites into the silhouette so the peg does not slip in your hand. It prints flat as one piece, no supports, nothing to assemble. PLA holds fine; PETG survives the dishwasher and takes more flexing. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.
