- Nuts or holiday snacks
- Keys, coins, or small office supplies
This charming functional print combines cuteness with utility. It makes for a fantastic centerpiece on a coffee table, a welcoming addition to a reception desk, or a fun gift for animal lovers.

Print Settings & Advice:
-
Supports: Yes, Required. (not included) Supports will be needed under the floating parts of the bowl/plate, under the bear's arms, and potentially under the chin. Tree Supports are recommended to keep the underside of the bowl smooth.
-
Layer Height: 0.16mm - 0.2mm. Since this is a larger functional object, 0.2mm works well to save time, but 0.16mm will make the bear's face smoother.
-
Infill: 15-20%. A slightly higher infill is recommended to ensure the bowl is sturdy enough to hold weight.
-
Food Safety Note: If you plan to put unwrapped food directly into the bowl, please ensure you use food-safe filament (like PETG) or coat the bowl with a food-safe epoxy/varnish. For wrapped candies, standard PLA is fine.
-
Painting Tip: Paint the bear in a creamy white, the nose black, and the accessories in festive red. You can paint the bowl in a dark grey or black to contrast with the bear, or gold for a magical look!
Happy Printing!
