    Well today is the 2 week mark for the Christmas countdown. Just wondering who out there is making something cool with their Robo for a Christmas gift. Please share and hopefully it will give some of us last minute shoppers, and those that are stuck for ideas, something to make for our friends and family.

    I'm doing a 12 days of Christmas surprise for my wife this year to spice up the holiday for her. The seventh day I am making this swan for "seven swans a swimming" along with a gift card to her favorite spa. I'll post a picture of the final product. Printing it one night this weekend while she sleeps.

    Also printing multiple color variations of the Lego Clone Trooper for all the little kids in the family.

    @Mike Kelly posted this link in the Shoutbox the other day. Just downloaded the file from this site. I had to register on a site called cults, but ok. LOL! Really neat snowflake breakout puzzle. Making some tonight for friends kids coming in the afternoon tomorrow. Looks really cool. Special thanks to Mike for sharing this with us.

    Found it on Thingiverse...no registration to a cult site needed. Haha.

    Not sure what the link is, but there is a labyrinth puzzle gift box that I've often considered printing.

    Printing some of these for my sisters. Look really cool for some Christmas cheer. C. Michael Neely designed these and made them available at youmagine.com.

    Update: Made a plug for the bottom to support the tealight. Not sure why the designer didn't have something like this, but works great for the house and the snowman models.

    Thanks. I actually made a modified tea light scene where I replaced the snowman with Olaf. Came out great. My little niece loves that movie right now. I'd share the model, but I'm afraid of having the ghost of Walt visit me.
