Hairy Christmas tree

thingiverse

UPDATE (04-DEC-2017): Build pics added from a friend of mine (Thanks, Edu!). Trust me, dude - Pics taken immediately after print, no postprocessing done. These trees come out just as you see them. He scaled up the model. This hairy Christmas tree design doesn't need postprocessing after printing because it doesn't use a coaster wall. Filament will hang down during printing due to extrusion temperature. Stop the layer fan to increase the hanging as this lets the material cool down slowly and be more susceptible to gravity's law - won't work in zero gravity conditions. Based on my design here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2306455, I wanted to create something unique. Similar models exist, but I designed this one from scratch. Recommendations for printing: No support required. No postprocessing needed. Use 0.2 layer and 0.4 nozzle settings. Print with PLA or flex material. Turn off the layer fan. Don't scale it down; thin layers won't print correctly. This is a 2-3 hour print at 100x140x140 mm. Tip: Change filament near mid-print to white for a snowy effect, or try multicolor for an extra-special touch! Htree2.stl has more hair if you prefer (hair quantity doubled). Enjoy!
