So, a few days ago I’ve written about a then work-in-progress configurable calendar model and now we’re ready to roll!
Features
- The days are always correct - uses an algorithm to calculate the correct day for any date. So if you want to print a calendar for 2077, rest assured that the model will calculate the correct day for the 1st of January (it’s Friday, btw).
- Generate only select months - the full model measures 240x240 mm, which might be quite large for some smaller printers. You can generate only months 1-6 and then separately months 7-12 and voilá, it fits.
- Choose how many months are on each row - what would it help cutting the calendar in half by only selecting half of the months if you couldn’t fit 3 columns on your print bed? Well, just change the amount of columns, of course! Set it to 2 and the model fits again.
- Custom holidays - every country has different holidays and here you can put them all easily!
- No AMS or MMU? No problem! - supports printing both with AMS/MMU and without. With a simple toggle you can switch between multi material mode and a mode where each colored part has different height for manual color switching
- Are Saturdays worth celebrating? - you decide! A simple toggle to toggle whether Saturdays have that holiday/Sunday color or not
- Magnet or hook holes? - or both? You can configure the diameter, width, height and whatnot of either or both.
- What the f…ont! - choose your font, choose your font size.
- No hablo English? - just translate the calendar to your language! Title, month names and day names are all translatable.

On one hand, I’m assuming that you wrote proper code to figure out what day each year starts with.
On the other hand, I imagine that you set it up Friday, a constant.
Nice work though!
Heh, indeed I wrote a proper code to calculate the day, it’s called Zeller’s congruence and feels like magic.
