Add some magic to your bookshelf or mantelpiece with this charming Sitting Christmas Elf! Designed specifically to perch on the edge of a flat surface, this little helper keeps watch over your holiday preparations with a friendly smile.

With his dangling legs and classic pointed hat, he fits perfectly among your books, on a fireplace mantel, or even sitting atop your computer monitor. The model features a stylized, clean look that captures the nostalgic feel of classic Christmas toys.

(Includes 1 STL file for 3D printing. This is a digital file, not a physical item.)

Print Settings & Advice:

• Supports: Yes, Required. (not included)Since the legs hang down and the hands rest on the surface, supports will be needed under the legs (boots), the chin, and potentially the hands. Tree Supports are highly recommended to minimize contact points on the visible front parts.
• Orientation: Print him upright to get the best resolution on the face.
• Layer Height: 0.12mm - 0.2mm. The render shows visible layer lines which give it a nice wooden toy texture, but 0.12mm is best for a smooth face.
• Infill: 15-20%.
• Balance Tip: To ensure he sits securely without tipping forward, you can increase the infill percentage in the butt area of the model (using modifier meshes in your slicer) to lower the center of gravity.
• Painting Tip: Stick to the classic palette shown in the render: a forest green tunic and hat, bright red boots, and gold accents for the belt buckle. Use a matte finish to make him look like a high-quality clay or wood figurine.

Happy Printing!
