Crystal Facet Ornament

pinshape

This is our entry into the MakerBot Ornaments Challenge. Our design boasts a traditional shape with stacked facets that give it a modern look. At its widest cross section, you can see that it's derived from a snowflake's six-sided crystal shape. This design also looks great as just the top half. Printed in green, it may resemble a tree. I'm looking forward to seeing this printed with one of the transparent filaments. If you print a clear one, please share! This model was created with 3D printing in mind, so the layers stack neatly together. We recommend printing this design with 0% fill and just one extra shell, at 0.2 layer thickness or thinner. This keeps it very translucent. No support is needed. Simply align and glue the two identical halves together. There's space inside for an LED and battery if you're so inclined to hack this design.
