We haven’t done anything Harry Potter related yet, but this time we came up with a fun idea: what if we make the Sorting Hat into a Christmas hat?:)
So here it is, Santa’s Sorting Hat, put it on your head and it will know if you were naughty or nice this year!

—————–
INFO:
Versions provided: stl and 3mf with print settings, wearable version, keychain and LED tealight holder version.

Print difficulty level: Beginner (keychain tealight) to Advanced (wearable hat)

Recommended print settings: (If you use Bambu or Orca slicer, all the print settings are automatically loaded in each version’s 3mf files)

For the wearable hat version:
-Layer height: 0.2mm

-Wall loops: 2

-Infill: in the range of 7-10%, Gyroid

-Supports: Supports: Automatic Tree Supports, TopZ Distance: 0.28, BottomZ Distance: 0.2 (like this the supports can be removed easily, if your print might move or fail at the beginning, adjust the amount to something lower like 0.15, it might be harder to remove the supports afterwards, but it will hold better while printing)

-Wall loops: 2

-Infill: in the range of 7-10%, Gyroid

Painting recommendations:
Filament: Bambu PLA Matte (you can either choose the matte red pla if you don’t want to fo through all the steps of post-processing, or just get the white one, and you can follow the steps below)

Filler Primer: Rust-Oleum Filler and Sandable Primer Spray 

Sandpaper: 3m Pro Grade Grit: 120, 3m Pro Grade Grit:220, 3M Wet or dry Sandpaper Grit: 600
 and/or Bates- Sandpaper, 18 Pack, 12 Grits, 120 to 3000

Primer: Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch Spray Paint RED

Paint: Fantastory Craft Acrylic Paint Set 
OR XDOVET Airbrush Paint, 28 Colors Airbrush Paint Set

Clear coat finish: Rust-Oleum Matte Clear Coat or if you want glossy look Rust-Oleum Clear Gloss

  • Post-processing steps (if you don’t mind the layer lines being too dominant, you can skip the sanding part, and jump right to the primer coat and painting)

    • Sanding: Start with coarse sandpaper (120 grit) to smooth layer lines, then use finer grits (220) and lastly (400-600) for a more polished surface.

    • Filler Primer: Apply a filler primer coat to cover imperfections. Let it dry completely.

    • Wet Sanding: Use 400-600 grit sandpaper for wet sanding the primer, repeating as needed for smoothness.

    • Final Primer Coat: Apply a thin layer of regular primer to create an even base for painting.

    • Painting: Paint and add some shades, details and weathered look with your chosen color from the acrylic paint set or if you have airbrush set, you can paint with that too, definitely much faster:)

    • Finish: Seal with Rust-Oleum Matte Clear Coat for a subtle finish or Clear Gloss for a shiny effect.

(Allow each layer to dry fully before moving to the next for the best results.)
