<p>I want a Christmas tree that I can light up. This is how I constructed parts that can be illuminated indirectly with transparent parts or with 5 mm LED through holes.<br/> The tree in the pictures shows a direct light downwards in the upper 3 parts, the lower part is transparent with internal LEDs.<br/> I used RGB rainbow LEDs with resistors on the 5V USB cable.<br/> Drill out the holes in the green parts with a 2mm drill so that the filament pieces can be used for centering. In the counterparts I melted the filament pieces with a soldering iron.<br/> Hint:<br/> ONLY the top needs support - but only in the outer area!!! use support blocker<br/> The part green4 has a plate for better adhesion, which must be removed after printing.</p> <p> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://youtu.be/gg8PHhlzpME"></oembed> </figure> </p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Decor Summary</h3> <p>I want a Christmas tree that I can light up.
