December 2018 UFO Contents

Thank You to this month’s sponsors, contributors, and companies who didn’t try to shoot our UFO’s out of the sky for using their product in this month’s box.

The December 2018 UFO Mystery 3D Printing Box has landed. This month marks a major milestone for Alien3D... it was the 6th month UFO box! It's been an amazing 6 months, and I am looking forward to hitting the 1 year mark! I would like to thank those who subscribed this month! Below you will find details of what was contained in this month's box! If you have not signed up to start receiving your box next month, click here to get more details!

This month was themed for Christmas, from the design of the boxes and the trifold, to the filament colors and the project! I'm really excited to see what everyone thinks!

December #3Dprinting UFO from @alienslacker is here and the @repkord #Mothership has landed! Always thought I'd only be watching others show it off, but now I'm the one showing it off! Can't wait to make use of everything that was inside that beautiful box! pic.twitter.com/U7ENeHBwtb

All filament samples are at least 20 meters in length (actually more, I increased the length to eat up the extra filament being left behind on the rolls)

This month's updates to the packaging included: easy tear open vacuum seal bags (last month didn't have tear tabs) and branded cards in with the samples to keep with the samples if you end up putting them somewhere =P.

Vertigo or Navy Blue PETG

Extrusion Temp: 230 to 250C
Bed Temp: 80-90C

This was a last minute inclusion to the December UFO, but they worked out perfectly! The Vertigo and Navy Blue both represent the night sky, welcome Santa on his trip through the stars to deliver presents!

Glitter Flake HTPLA: Winter Blue

Extrusion Temp: 190 to 230C
Bed Temp: 0-70C

This Winter Blue color is beautiful, and with the sparkles I felt that it represented winter perfectly. On top of that, I believe it is a great filament to use for the frozen lake for this month's project!

Red PLA

Extrusion Temp: 190 to 210C
Bed Temp: 0-60C

You can't have Christmas without Red! Red decorations, Red nose, Red Santa outfit!

Silver PLA

Extrusion Temp: 210C
Bed Temp: 50-60C

Silver bells, silver belllls... It's Christmas time, in Alieneilaville! This silver is pretty awesome, and I know a lot of people have been wanting to get their hands on some Prusament, so I did my best to make it happen!

Are you tired of inconsistent curling prints? PLA Gloop is specially formulated to provide the best bed adhesion on the market for PLA FDM printers. PLA Gloop! is designed to work on glass, AND mirror surfaces.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!
While Gloop was developed initially for bed adhesion, it also works GREAT for gluing parts together, and using as a post-process smoother to fill cracks and smooth layer lines. It can also leave a glossy coat on your prints!

I really love this project, I looked around and found that these can be rather expensive, but I really wanted a project that you could add to your annual Christmas setup and decorations. When I first came up with the idea, I discussed it with Bryan Vines, and he said he would take a shot at it... and he blew me away!

The UFO contained:

• 1 Gearmotor
• 1 Battery Pack
• 2 M3x25 Screws
• 2 M3x8 Screws
• 3 M3x12 Screws
• 6 5mm Washers
• 6 6x2mm Magnets
• 1 Double sided card with custom ice skater designs.
