The Nativity Set - easier to add characters is a free printable 3D model from Thingiverse by costmo. This is a nice little nativity set, but I thought that creating a set with more than one of a single character was overly difficult for people who aren't into writing code.

About this model

This is a nice little nativity set, but I thought that creating a set with more than one of a single character was overly difficult for people who aren't into writing code. I refactored the code so that each of the characters is in his or her own module, so you can make multiples much more easily. For example, to get two kings: king(); translate( [0, 20, 0] ) king(); If you uncomment the lines that I have commented and render the model, you will have three kings, three angels and three shepherds in addition to Mary, Joseph and the crib. If you don't want to go through the trouble of modifying the OpenSCAD file to get all of those characters, you can print the included "full set" file.
