Christmas Card Display

thingiverse

This is a Christmas Card display, shaped like a majestic Christmas Tree. I printed all of its parts in high-quality PLA material, and fortunately, no supports were needed. To optimize print time, I used a 25% fill density, which should be sufficient; however, you might even get away with less. I carefully designed the fit of the tree trunk pieces and the branch collars to feature a precision taper fit. This thoughtful design ensures a secure and tight fit while still allowing for easy disassembly and storage in a box during off-seasons. The branch collars are cleverly numbered, making it straightforward to determine which layer they belong on. Update: On December 15th, 2018, I added an additional taller top section to the tree design, making it easier to view the star when cards are placed in the upper level.
