Five-Point Star Frames - Many Dimensions with Parametric Fusion360 Design

prusaprinters

This is my very minimalistic design of a five-point star frame decoration. I created this and other similar designs like table and gift wrap decorations. Printed in various colours and sizes, it is a wonderful eyecatcher sprinkled in the middle of a festive table.How to Print the Star FramesPrint the star frames on one of the flat sides. As they are symmetric, the side does not matter. In the file section, you will find a PrusaSlicer example project. Use this as a good base for your settings, or check the table below:Nozzle Size:no limitationLayer Height:Optimized for 0.2mmFilament Materials:PLA, PETG, …Perimeters:Two perimetersPrusa Slicer Profile:“0.2mm Quality”Precautions when Printing Small ObjectsDepending on the filament you use, printing the star frame with this thin outline can cause problems with print bed adhesion. So, please carefully watch the print, especially the first layers.DimensionsThe model file name has this format:LR2281-Z<thickness>-D<diameter>.3mfThickness (Z)The thickness is a number in 10ths of millimetres. Therefore 24 stands for 2.4mm.Diameter (D)The diameter of an imaginary circle around the rounded tips of the stars. The value is the diameter in millimetres. Therefore 040 stands for 40mm.Catalogue PDFIn the file section, you will find a catalogue PDF with a complete overview of all dimensions. This catalogue also contains handy tables where you can easily look up all models based on a single parameter.Each model in the catalogue is shown with an image, all parameters and the corresponding model file name. So, before you despair of finding the right model, download the catalogue and search for the model's name there.Similar DesignsI created additional star shapes that match this design:Check out my other designsAbout the Prints in the PhotosThe prints in the photos are made on an Original Prusa i3 MK3S+ using various filaments:3DJAKE ecoPLA Orange (cheap, great results)3DJAKE ecoPLA Neon Orange (hard to print)3DJAKE ecoPLA Glitter Orange (cheap, not orange, great results)AddNorth E-PLA Lucent Orange (great results)colorFabb Viber's PLA Pastel Orange (nice to touch, hard to print)AzureFilm Silk Flame Orange (easy to print, great results)Sadly, Prusament PLA orange was sold out; otherwise, I would have preferred this over 3DJAKE's ecoPLA.ConclusionI hope you find this very simple design useful and that it decorates your gifts or table.
