Christmas Light Mini Tree

prusaprinters

<p>Originally I had mini trees made out of steel garden obelisks that were very inexpensive but sturdy, like around $5 each. However these went out of stock and never came back so I ended up designing this to be equivalent but around the same price point so I could scale up.</p><p>I used PETG since these are outside, after 2 seasons there has been no noticeable wear on these (about 2-3 months each season). You'll need 4 each of the post models, 2 each of the base, and 1 each of the rings and top.</p><p>To assemble, the following hardware is needed:</p><p>x20 M3 locknut nuts (4792 from Bolt Depot) - I used stainless steel hardware</p><p>x8 M3x16mm socket cap (6382 from Bolt Depot) - these are for the base</p><p>x12 M3x10mm socket cap (6380 from Bolt Depot) - these are for everything except the base</p><p>64 WS2811 Bullet Pixels (or similar) with 4" spacing. Each vertical strand will have 8 pixels.</p><p>~72 small zip ties, one per pixel plus a few to attach the non-post vertical strands to the rings.</p>
