Hanging Advent Wreath Stand

This model is a hanging Advent wreath stand built around a central vertical support column. The Advent wreath is suspended using four chains and held in place by magnetic wreath rings, creating a clean, adjustable, and centered setup.

Overview

The stand consists of a central column, four chains, and four magnetic wreath rings.

The central column is made up of four parts:

• a base

• a lower rod

• an upper rod

• a top part for attaching the chains

The rod is split into two sections so it fits on smaller 3D printers, mainly my Prusa Mini.
The base is attached to the lower rod using an M5×20 mm machine screw, and the lower rod is connected to the upper rod using another M5×20 mm machine screw.

The top part attaches the four chains to the column. Each chain is fixed using an M3×16 mm countersunk screw, which is inserted through the top part, through a chain link, and into the rod.

At the lower end of each chain is a magnetic wreath ring, which is used to hold and support the Advent wreath.

Each ring consists of two hinged parts:

• one side is connected using an M3×8 mm countersunk screw, allowing the ring to open and close

• on the opposite side, one half holds the chain using an M3×8 mm countersunk screw, while the other half contains a 5×5 mm magnet, glued in place with super glue

A decorative star is mounted on top of the column. The star consists of two parts that simply plug together.

All parts are uploaded already in the correct print orientation.

Assembly Instructions

1. Assemble the base, lower rod, and upper rod using the two M5×20 mm machine screws.

2. Cut all four chains to the same length. I used a side cutter for this.

3. Glue the magnets into the magnet-side ring parts using super glue.

4. Assemble the wreath rings, connect the two ring halves, and attach the chains to the rings using the M3x8 mm screws.

5. Attach the chains to the top part using the M3×16 mm countersunk screws.

6. Place the Advent wreath into the rings and close them to secure the wreath.
