1. The Moving Brands 3D Advent Calendar

The Moving Brands 3D Advent calendar is definitely the most impressive one of the year. The designers boast that they have created “the world’s highest resolution 3D printed chocolates” using a RepRap 3D printer.

Each day of the month leading up to December 24, MB'ers select a personal story and design a 3D sculpture. Then the RepRap 3D printer output an advent calendar-style delicious miniature of their maker's memory, which includes a champagne cork, a collection of five fruits and vegetables, seagulls, you name it.
