Cone Christmas Tree

This is a cone Christmas Tree and be decorated with whatever you like. I have included: Full Size 50% 70% 85% Print in vase mode For the solid connectors print with 0 bottom layers Use the solid scaled connector for smaller sizes. you will need to print the connector at 102-104% for a better fit I used instant super glue to connect the pieces and low temp hot glue for attaching fabric to the model I am not posting the stl of the star here as someone else made it. I printed the start at 85% for the full size. You will need to play around with the scale for the other sizes. Here is the link to the star: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1161509 So in practice these cones work just fine when printed in standard vase mode with a standard 0.4mm nozzle and line 0.4mm line width. However is you would like a stronger print you can use these settings as a guide (just remember what works for my printer might not work for yours) Nozzle size: 0.4mm Line Width: 0.8mm Initial Layer Line Width: 100% Flow: 108% I do use cura as my slicer. There is no reason that you have to print with a line width equal to your nozzle diameter. You can increase the strength of your prints by increasing the "Line Width" setting. However you need to keep in mind the capabilities of your printer. If you start to have issues you need to back the settings down. Also keep in mind that when you do this you can throw dimensional accuracy out the window. So as far as the cone tree is concerned you will need to mess with the scale of the connector to make it fit properly.
