12 branches Christmas Tree

thingiverse

In 2008, I created an innovative mini Christmas tree with multiple sections for a more realistic look. By dividing the height into as many parts as used panels (6 in this case), you can create larger notches that accommodate the thickness and angle of the stacked acrylic panels. Additionally, this tree serves as a decorative holder for small jewelry pieces. To construct your mini Christmas tree, simply stack the panels numbered 1-6. The provided files are designed to be cut from 2mm material and stand at a height of 150mm (STLs are also available for printing). Alternatively, there is another set of files tailored for the more common 3mm thickness of acrylic, allowing you to use various materials on Ponoko. A blueprint can be found on their website (http://www.ponoko.com/design-your-own/products/6924). I may add a longer 240mm version in the future.
