Tis the season for 3D Printed Ornaments!  In this video, I'll go over some techniques and approaches I have used in my ornaments to hang and balance them.

Hanging
0:43 - Poke a Hole in the Piece for a Ribbon or Hook
1:18 - Glue Two Mirrored Pieces Together
2:31 - Include Your Own 3D Printed Clasp into the Design
3:35 - Embed Split/Jump Rings into your Design

Balancing
5:14 - Using Blender for Guidance on the Center of Gravity
6:54 - Adding a Symmetrical Base
7:16 - Adding a Hidden Counterweight
