Every year I have a 3D printer I will design and print a Christmas Tree ornament using my latest and best printer. Hopefully I will buy new printers as they evolve and become better and much like my first dot-matrix printer, I have had a paper printer of one form or other most of my adult life. This year I decided to use my very first 3D printer, the Afinia H479, and make a Christmas Tree ornament that meant something. So I made a miniature version of the ornament printing a Santa hat ornament.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/2013_ornament_afinia_printer_complete.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-926\" alt=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" src=\"http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/2013_ornament_afinia_printer_complete-600x524.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/2013_ornament_afinia_printer_complete-600x524.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/2013_ornament_afinia_printer_complete-343x300.jpg 343w, http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/2013_ornament_afinia_printer_complete.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A bit meta, as most people who knew about this pointed out.
