Final week was Christmas, and in just some days, it is going to be New Yr’s Eve, after which New Yr’s Day. 2025 will finish, and 2026 will start. Out with the previous and in with the brand new, proper? Prosperity, new probabilities, renewal…these all come to thoughts when you consider welcoming a brand new yr. Luck is one other one, and there are all types of New Yr’s luck traditions all over the world, from consuming 12 grapes at midnight and carrying money in your pocket to being the primary to enter your property after midnight on New Yr’s Day. Whereas placing collectively my annual record of enjoyable, free 3D prints for New Yr’s Eve, I discovered a couple of good luck charms. So I made a decision to run with that theme, and capped the variety of choices at “fortunate 7.”
In lots of European and Asian cultures, pigs are thought of fortunate, and are in style symbols of happiness, prosperity, and luck. So I assumed this cute “fortunate appeal” pig print by Thingiverse person MH-3DP was an ideal selection for my record. It was printed with 15% infill and 0.2 mm layer top, 100% circulation, and three wall traces utilizing a 0.4 mm nozzle.
“Give the reward of happiness for the brand new yr! Merely mix a 1 euro cent coin with this 3D print and put a smile on somebody’s face!”
It might in all probability be straightforward to scale this up or down in the event you needed to make use of a unique coin within the center.
Cults3D person hazer88 shared these three horseshoes “as fortunate charms for the brand new yr.” Printed with 0.16 layer top and 60-80% infill, simply scale these as you want to create one thing as giant as wall artwork to one thing as small as a keychain.
Whereas the Chinese language New Yr doesn’t start till mid-February of 2026, persons are already beginning to focus on and give attention to the Yr of the Hearth Horse. This consists of Thingiverse person two_d_man, who shared this 3D printed horse coin, in addition to the 3D printed dragon coin I wrote about in 2024. He used a Prusa I3 MK3S to print the coin with no rafts or helps, 15% infill, and 0.2 mm decision, and included the PrusaSlicer G-code along with the STL file.
“Print this with adjustments of shade for the top and tail aspect.”
You possibly can’t have a good time New Yr’s Eve with out these enjoyable social gathering glasses within the form of the approaching yr, and Thingiverse person Christian_Kirk positively delivered with this fashionable pair! He defined that there’s a easy method to print these glasses, and a flowery means. For the straightforward means, every mannequin has a flat aspect, which ought to be positioned flat on the construct plate to simply print with out helps. When you have a “fancy mattress” and wish to texture the entrance of your glasses, place the entrance and the edges with the textual content flat to the construct plate, however use helps, as a result of the numbers and textual content are protruding.
“What to print?
1x Left.stl
1x Proper.stl
1x both of the glasses:
Glasses_S-M.stl: small/medium (125 mm large).
Glasses_L-XL.stl: giant/additional giant (145 mm large).”
One other nice social gathering accent is that this 2026 headband by Cults3D person barbasucia. Designed to be light-weight and comfy to put on, and straightforward to print, this one doesn’t require helps, and matches a mean grownup head, although you possibly can scale it all the way down to 90% for youths. The infill ought to be 15-20%, and 0.2 mm layer top normally works greatest. PLA is an efficient materials selection, and you may both print in a single shade, or swap out the filament for the textual content layers to “create a surprising two-tone look.”
“Get able to ring within the new yr with model! This “Comfortable 2026″ Get together Tiara is the proper accent in your New Yr’s Eve (NYE) celebration, picture sales space, or household gathering.”
For the large toast at midnight, this champagne flute holder by Cults3D person alexdestoga is a must have social gathering accent.
“Rigorously and elegantly designed, this stand combines performance and aesthetics to boost your festive moments.”
As I discussed in my Christmas 3D prints publish, we’ve all been ready three lengthy years for the ultimate season of the hit Netflix present Stranger Issues, and it’s lastly right here! The primary 4 episodes got here out the day earlier than Thanksgiving, whereas the subsequent three arrived the night of Christmas.
As a result of the ultimate episode (which the Duffer Brothers ought to actually simply name a film as a result of it’s over 2 hours lengthy) drops on New Yr’s Eve, the final print on this record, fortunate quantity 7, is a Stranger Issues keychain by Cults3D person sniper0023, meant for “printing in shade on a single layer.”
