Star Wars Holiday Ornaments

Imperial crest & Rebel Alliance Ornaments

We’re getting into the spirit with a couple of seasonally appropriate decorations. The Rebel Alliance Ornament and the Imperial Crest Ornament for EggBot are both available on thingiverse. Our guide to printing ornaments with the EggBot may be helpful, too.

Both designs are derived from a set of silhouettes from vecteezy.com.

"That’s no melon!"

"That's no melon!"

One cantaloupe, a knife, and five minutes. Your very own (and very tasty) planet-killing superweapon.

Hint 1: Center the “crater” around where the stem was connected so that the darker fibers under the skin point towards the center of it.

Hint 2: Stretch a string around the melon to help guide your equatorial trench.

(Also: you don’t really need that exhaust port. It’s a weakness.)
