To all 3D printing enthusiasts who are still looking for decorations or gift inspiration, today we are presenting 6 free 3D printed designs that are sure to make an impression at family dinner and perfectly complement the Easter basket.

DIY Easter decorations from the 3D printer

Nothing beats homemade! This is also the case in 3D printing. Even if your 3D printer does most of the work, you can still create Easter decorations that are tailored to your preferences and your home. You decide which materials, which colours and which sizes you choose for your 3D models.
Depending on the material you use, you can also easily rework your prints, for example by painting them.

1. 3D-printed decorative eggs

If you've ever blown out and painted real eggs, you probably know how much effort it takes and how much care needs to be taken to avoid breaking them. We would therefore like to introduce you to the beautiful and, above all, robust Easter eggs from the 3D printer. The unusual decorative eggs are a real eye-catcher and are also ideal for the windowsill, the dining table or as a souvenir.

Under the following link, you will find 12 stl files for different Easter egg designs with different patterns. If you don't want to miss out on painting Easter eggs despite modern technology, you can of course rework and paint your 3D printed eggs as you wish.

The printing proves to be extremely uncomplicated; for most of the eggs shown, no support structures are required for a beautiful printing result.

Advantage: Thanks to their robustness, the decorative eggs are also perfect for painting eggs with children and are therefore not sensitive when stored.

4. Easter bunny with basket

Just like the carrot, this rabbit model with basket is also perfect for giving away sweets and other small things. The bunny is super easy to print and works well as a decoration, for hiding treats in the garden or as a small plant pot.

We printed our bunny in a bright pink and fuzzy skin look so that he could really be found between the bushes.
