Santa Claus—otherwise known as Saint Nicholas— has a long history immersed in Christmas traditions. Today, he is mainly believed to be the jolly old bloke in red who brings toys to good girls and boys on Christmas Eve. The story of Saint Nicholas goes all the way back to the 3rd century when he walked the Earth and became the patron saint of children. He is tasked to deliver presents, and If Santa Claus had a 3D printer, he would be able to make 3D printed toys, and 3D printed Christmas presents for the good kids.

In modern folklore, Santa Claus is said to make lists of children throughout the world. He categorizes them as per their behavior throughout the year. Santa Claus then embarks on a journey to distribute presents, such as toys and candy, to all the well-mannered kids across the world. This seems like a hectic job, and Santa Claus and his associates could really use some help. This article will look at some of the toys and presents that could be 3D printed by Santa Claus.

Shifting parts consist of movable shrouds, telescoping barrel pieces, a collapsible rear sight, and folding main scope. The scope is also hollow with a removable shroud and separate lenses so it can be customized. It is an ideal gift for a fan of Overwatch.

Suzuki GSX-RR MotoGP RC Motorcycle

Both the Ducati and Suzuki RC motorcycles feature a functional 3D printed front fork, adjustable rear suspension, and drivetrain that translates power from gears to a belt drive system, which turns the rear wheel. The bikes stay upright by using a weighted front wheel, which acts as a passive gyroscope, and both bikes have to option run either TPU 3D printed rear tires or rubber F1 RC tires for better grip.

The Rider is also printed in 3D and houses a brain, backbone, and pelvis. The brain is a super tiny ultra-micro servo which is placed in the head of the rider. It attaches to the spine that is a metal rod that runs through the body and is attached to the pelvis, translating the servo’s movement.
