A Contest & Xmas Door Wrapping!

[Kurt]

First of all - Wishing Happy Holidays to the 3DP Hive Mind here!

I wanted to share a little project I did - for which some 3D Printing was involved. 

I received this from my apartment complex on Dec. 1st.  I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but I was busy with other things at the time - and was not sure I even wanted to put in all the effort to do it. But, this past weekend - I did a walk about on the 4th(top) floor of my building (as that's my floor) - and also on the 1^st floor - and saw NO Serious door decorations. So, I figured I might have a shot at it. I bought up supplies this Mon. (2 days ago) after work - to implement my idea. I stopped by front desk, to chat with the folks that run the building - and they admitted they have gotten VERY Few submissions for the contest. And, at that point - I KNEW I had a shot at winning. This was the Flyer sent via email:

So, my idea was to Wrap my Door & make it look like a big gift box for under a Christmas tree. It's not an original idea - as I've seen people do it before. I just figured I would take a shot at doing it - and it would make for a good submission. Anyway - this was my door before I started:

One key item was the gift tag. It's what people use to tell folks who the gift is From - and who it's going To. So, I did a quick 3D Design, and printed out the letters Mon. Night - whilst also working on the door - while the letters were printing. This is those letters on the build plate:

Then, at work yesterday - I created the gift tag and applied the letters:

Finally - it was time to finish Wrapping the door & implement the gift tag:

Now it's time to submit that pic for the contest! Since, yeah - a month of Free Rent would be a GREAT Gift for me for the holidays!

I'm disappointed in you, Kurt.

NO DRAGON!?

Of course, you really didn't have time....

You'll have to start designing your Christmas Door Dragon for next year, I guess. 😆

Very funny Jody!

Alas - although I am "famous" for the Dragon - it does not truly define me!!!

But, I can truly appreciate your comments.

So - thanks again for a humorous reply.
