It’s Easter time, and you know what that means! Joyful hearts, colorful eggs, and the warmth of togetherness filling the air. Easter is a time of renewal and hope, a celebration that brings people together to cherish new beginnings, sweet traditions, and the beauty of spring. Whether you're sharing laughter over a family meal, watching little ones hunt for hidden treasures, or simply taking a moment to reflect, Easter reminds us of the simple, meaningful joys in life. It’s a season of love, light, and the gentle reminder that brighter days are always ahead.

Now with introductions out of the way, lets get into the 3D printing spirit!

It's my first time uploading a public model to this platform, so please be easy on me. Enjoy my model when spending time with loved ones, and don't forget to print plenty of them for the kids and their friends too!

BUNNY EARS

This is a slight over engineered pair of bunny ears that I had an idea of creating. I wanted something that could be printed on a smaller build platform. Purely decorative and my first attempt at a wearable model. I am in no way a professional designer, but I wish to expand my skills as I have always had a love for 3D printing.

PRINTER and SETTINGS

Printed on a Creality Ender 3 V3 KE, the print took around 2 hours to complete as a batch print (all 3 files). Printed at a 0.20mm layer height as quality is not a concern, 15% infill as it is not a heavily functional print, printed in eSUN PLA+ Purple filament at a blistering speed of 300mm/s because I am a madman and the CREALITY ENDER 3 V3 KE is an absolute beast for high-speed prototyping. Supports at a 60° overhang angle were used for the head band portion only as the ears have minimal overhang. No brim or other adhesion method was used but would be useful if you have trouble with rogue supports like I do.

ASSEMBLY

Can be pressed together and used as is for temporary entertainment but glue or welding is recommended for a more stable product. From a front on view of the ears, make sure to insert the STRAIGHT EAR into the left side of the head band and the FLOOPY EAR into the right, noting the offset holes in the head band.

SIZING

The size of the head band is dependent on scale. The current sizing is set at a width 150mm inner diameter (I got a fat head). Scale the print down (or up) to the preferred size (being sure that the ears are scaled to the same percentage).

OTHER INFORMATION

Tolerances can be tight as different printers have different tolerance levels. If concerned about tolerances, scale ears down by 1% and leave the head band at 100% (glue or welding may be necessary).
