Final week was Christmas, and in just some days, it is going to be New 12 months’s Eve, after which New 12 months’s Day. 2025 will finish, and 2026 will start. Out with the outdated and in with the brand new, proper? Prosperity, new possibilities, renewal…these all come to thoughts when you consider welcoming a brand new yr. Luck is one other one, and there are all types of New 12 months’s luck traditions world wide, from consuming 12 grapes at midnight and carrying money in your pocket to being the primary to enter your own home after midnight on New 12 months’s Day. Whereas placing collectively my annual listing of enjoyable, free 3D prints for New 12 months’s Eve, I discovered a couple of good luck charms. So I made a decision to run with that theme, and capped the variety of choices at “fortunate 7.”
In lots of European and Asian cultures, pigs are thought of fortunate, and are in style symbols of happiness, prosperity, and luck. So I assumed this cute “fortunate attraction” pig print by Thingiverse person MH-3DP was an ideal alternative for my listing. It was printed with 15% infill and 0.2 mm layer top, 100% circulation, and three wall strains utilizing a 0.4 mm nozzle.
“Give the present of happiness for the brand new yr! Merely mix a 1 euro cent coin with this 3D print and put a smile on somebody’s face!”
It could in all probability be straightforward to scale this up or down in case you needed to make use of a special coin within the center.
Cults3D person hazer88 shared these three horseshoes “as fortunate charms for the brand new yr.” Printed with 0.16 layer top and 60-80% infill, simply scale these as you want to create one thing as giant as wall artwork to one thing as small as a keychain.
Whereas the Chinese language New 12 months doesn’t start till mid-February of 2026, individuals are already beginning to talk about and deal with the 12 months of the Hearth Horse. This consists of Thingiverse person two_d_man, who shared this 3D printed horse coin, in addition to the 3D printed dragon coin I wrote about in 2024. He used a Prusa I3 MK3S to print the coin with no rafts or helps, 15% infill, and 0.2 mm decision, and included the PrusaSlicer G-code along with the STL file.
“Print this with modifications of colour for the top and tail aspect.”
You may’t have a good time New 12 months’s Eve with out these enjoyable get together glasses within the form of the approaching yr, and Thingiverse person Christian_Kirk undoubtedly delivered with this trendy pair! He defined that there’s a easy solution to print these glasses, and a elaborate manner. For the easy manner, every mannequin has a flat aspect, which needs to be positioned flat on the construct plate to simply print with out helps. When you’ve got a “fancy mattress” and need to texture the entrance of your glasses, place the entrance and the perimeters with the textual content flat to the construct plate, however use helps, as a result of the numbers and textual content are protruding.
“What to print?
-
1x Left.stl
-
1x Proper.stl
-
1x both of the glasses:
-
Glasses_S-M.stl: small/medium (125 mm large).
-
Glasses_L-XL.stl: giant/additional giant (145 mm large).”

One other nice get together accent is that this 2026 headband by Cults3D person barbasucia. Designed to be light-weight and cozy to put on, and simple to print, this one doesn’t require helps, and suits a median grownup head, although you may scale it all the way down to 90% for teenagers. The infill needs to be 15-20%, and 0.2 mm layer top often works greatest. PLA is an efficient materials alternative, and you’ll both print in a single colour, or swap out the filament for the textual content layers to “create a shocking two-tone look.”
“Get able to ring within the new yr with type! This “Comfortable 2026″ Social gathering Tiara is the proper accent in your New 12 months’s Eve (NYE) celebration, picture sales space, or household gathering.”
For the large toast at midnight, this champagne flute holder by Cults3D person alexdestoga is a must have get together accent.
“Rigorously and elegantly designed, this stand combines performance and aesthetics to boost your festive moments.”
As I discussed in my Christmas 3D prints submit, we’ve all been ready three lengthy years for the ultimate season of the hit Netflix present Stranger Issues, and it’s lastly right here! The primary 4 episodes got here out the day earlier than Thanksgiving, whereas the subsequent three arrived the night of Christmas.
As a result of the ultimate episode (which the Duffer Brothers ought to actually simply name a film as a result of it’s over 2 hours lengthy) drops on New 12 months’s Eve, the final print on this listing, fortunate quantity 7, is a Stranger Issues keychain by Cults3D person sniper0023, meant for “printing in colour on a single layer.”
