About Christmas Ornament Maker (MakerLab)
Christmas Ornament Maker is an official MakerLab tool from Bambu Lab for designing flat ornaments that spin when they hang on the tree. You start from Christmas-themed templates and illustrations, add your own text, mix and match colours and arrange everything on a canvas, then export a 3MF ready for multi-colour printing.
Updates have added curved text, bold and italic fonts, flexible font sizes, per-element thickness, a face-down printing mode for a smooth front, the option to remove the base plate and importing images through the Image to Keychain tool. An adaptive print profile adjusts the settings to your design.
It is a quick way to make personalised family ornaments or gift tags in December. Bambu has run it as a free, holiday-season tool, so check availability outside the Christmas period, and you will need a MakerWorld account.
