Life-Size (80cm) Light-Up Baby Reindeer - Voronoi

UPDATE: If the reindeer is to be displayed outside, it is advisable to add a weight inside the body through the hole underneath for greater stability.

Create a stunning focal point for your Christmas decorations with this Life-Size Baby Reindeer. Despite its impressive size (80cm tall!), this project is engineered to be lightweight and efficient, requiring less than 1kg of filament (approx. 1 spool).

✨ Key Features:

Massive Scale: Dimensions are 66cm (L) x 50cm (W) x 80cm (H). It looks like a real baby reindeer.

Lighting Ready: Hollow Voronoi structure designed to hold Christmas lights. I recommend using 2/3 strings of 100 LEDs (200/300 LEDs total) for the ultimate "Wow" factor at night.

Smart Assembly: Although it prints in 9 plates, the Voronoi pattern acts as a natural alignment gu

ide. The edges lock together for easy gluing.

Outdoor Ready: Perfect for the garden if printed in PETG.

⚙️ Print Settings & Advice:

Material: PETG is highly recommended for outdoor use and durability. Use PLA only for indoor display.

Adhesion (Important): Large parts require good adhesion.

Brims are already added to the files. Do not remove them in the slicer.

Recommendation: Clean your build plate thoroughly and use hairspray or glue stick to ensure the parts stay flat during the print.

Print Time: Approx. 2 days and 11 hours.

Supports: Minimal due to the optimized Voronoi angles.

🔨 Assembly:

Print all 9 plates.

Use CA glue (Super Glue) or 2-part epoxy for plastics.

Match the Voronoi cells—they guide the alignment naturally.

Insert your LED lights from the bottom or through the mesh.

Enjoy your giant glowing reindeer!
