3D printed LED icicle Christmas decoration

thingiverse

You can create stunning DIY Christmas decorations with 3D printed icicles that feature LEDs inside. Not only are they affordable, but they're also incredibly easy to make. To get started, I purchased the cheapest LED strip online and used individual icicles. To ensure water doesn't seep in, I designed a special channel within the nut that prevents moisture from entering. Next, simply screw in the bottom portion and hang them outside, or use them indoors for a beautiful display. For added convenience during printing, the screw comes with a smaller hook or ring that can be printed separately. This thoughtful design eliminates the need for almost zero supports. If combined into one piece, numerous supports would be required. I documented my design process and assembly in a video, which you can watch here (7 minutes): https://youtu.be/DslXS3AoxHQ
