Free 3D Prints for Hanukkah 2026: Menorahs, Dreidels, and One Dinosaur

Hanukkah 2026 runs December 14 to 22. Here are the best free printable menorahs, dreidels, and gifts to have ready before the first candle.


Hanukkah 2026 starts on the evening of December 14. That is seven weeks away, which is exactly the right amount of time to print a menorah, spin a dreidel, discover that one candle socket is 0.3mm too narrow, and reprint it. Seven weeks. Plenty. Probably.

A menorah that looks like an architect designed it

RAY_Design's Twisted Hanukkah Menorah on Thingiverse is the design people stop to ask about. The arms spiral outward from a central base, each candle socket arriving at the same height through what appears to be structural optimism. It prints in two halves that snap together without hardware, and the curves reward a 0.2mm layer height. If you want the centrepiece on the windowsill to earn a second look, start here.

A menorah that just works

If you want something clean, sturdy, and usable without ceremony, lermanrafi's Modern Hanukkah Menorah on Thingiverse is the reliable choice. Eight candle sockets plus a raised shamash holder, flat base, no drama. It has been downloaded and reprinted more consistently than almost any other Hanukkah model precisely because it does what it says. PLA, whatever infill you have, done.

A menorah that has no business existing but here we are

Moozicmon's Menorahsaurus on Thingiverse is, technically and in every literal sense, a Tyrannosaurus Rex whose arms form the candle branches of a hanukkiah. The T-Rex is the menorah. It appears genuinely pleased with the arrangement. There is no explanation for why this exists, and I have no complaints about it. Print one for the person who has everything except a nine-candle dinosaur that celebrates the miracle of the oil.

Dreidels with the right letters

A detail most printed dreidels quietly get wrong: the Hebrew letters are different depending on where you are. In the Diaspora, the four sides show the letters נ-ג-ה-ש (nun, gimmel, hey, shin), an acronym for "a great miracle happened there." In Israel, the ש is replaced by פ (peh): "a great miracle happened here." Same game, same spin, one letter changed, and it matters.

lukesky's Hanukkah Dreidel 26 series on Cults3D gets this right. There are separate models for Israel and Diaspora, each available in a free-spinning version (balanced to spin on a flat surface) and a stand-mount version for display. Download the one that matches where you are lighting the candles.

A dreidel for the first print of the season

If you want a dreidel that prints in one piece, needs no supports, and works reliably on the first attempt, coolthingsbyjacob's Dreidel (NO SUPPORTS) on MyMiniFactory is the one. Classic shape, good balance, straightforward print. It is the model you hand to someone who just got a printer and wants to make something today.

A gift that fits in an envelope

5-LOXIN's Star of David pendant on Thingiverse comes in four variations: two solid-fill styles and two wire-frame versions, all sized for a standard jump ring and cord. Print in gold or silver PLA, add a ring from your hardware bits box, and you have a Hanukkah gift that costs about four cents of filament and looks like you planned ahead. All four variants come in a single download.

Finding the rest

The winter holidays collection on Thinger has a broader range of seasonal models across the December holidays if you are shopping for prints for more than one household. For Hanukkah specifically, searching "menorah", "dreidel" or "hanukkah" in the free Thinger app pulls results live from Thingiverse, Printables, MakerWorld, and more in one place. There is more out there than these six pages, and you still have seven weeks.
