Ditch the traditional red coat for some serious street cred! This 3D model reimagines the classic Garden Gnome (or Santa Claus) with a modern urban twist. Decked out in a cozy hoodie, cargo pants, and fresh sneakers, this character brings a chill, too cool for school vibe to your holiday decor or desk setup.
Standing with hands in his pockets and his hat pulled low, this figurine is perfect for anyone who loves streetwear fashion, hip-hop culture, or just wants a unique, non-traditional Christmas decoration. It’s a great conversation starter and looks amazing whether you keep it minimal or go all out with a custom paint job to match your favorite clothing brands.
Add some swag to your shelf or 3D print the coolest gift for your friends this season!

Print Settings & Advice:
While the geometry is relatively clean, the overhangs created by the clothing and beard require attention.
Supports: Yes, Required. (not included)Supports will be needed primarily under the beard, the bottom edge of the hoodie, and potentially under the hands/pockets area.
CRITICAL ADVICE: Tree Supports (Organic Supports) are highly recommended.Because the beard has complex curves and hangs over the hoodie, tree supports will interface better with the model and leave fewer marks upon removal, preserving the smooth texture of the beard and the fabric folds.
Layer Height: 0.12mm - 0.2mmA layer height of 0.16mm is a great balance between speed and quality. If you plan to paint it, 0.12mm will minimize sanding time.
Infill: 10-15%The model has a sturdy base (the feet), so high infill isn't necessary. 10-15% Gyroid or Grid infill is plenty.
Walls: 2-3 WallsStandard wall settings work fine here.
Plate Adhesion: Skirt or BrimThe shoes provide a decent surface area, but if your printer struggles with bed adhesion, use a small Brim to keep those sneakers planted firmly on the plate.
Painting Tip:This model is a blank canvas for style!
- Streetwear Vibe: Paint the hoodie in black, olive green, or camo patterns.
- Classic Santa: Stick to a red hoodie and blue jeans.
- Detailing: Use a fine brush to paint the soles of the sneakers white for that crisp, fresh-out-of-the-box look.
Happy Printing!
