Hairy Christmas Tree and Ornaments

thingiverse

This is a detailed and intricate Christmas Tree design, created to be printable at its maximum size using the Rostock Max V2. The tree itself stands tall at 11.25 inches (286mm) high, with a base diameter of 9.85 inches (250mm).\r\n\r\nThe tree's branches are designed specifically for PLA material and a 0.4mm nozzle, printed at a layer height of 0.3mm for optimal results. Deviating from these settings may compromise the tree's quality due to its intricate branch design.\r\n\r\nThe accompanying ornaments are designed to be printed on any printer capable of single or dual-color extrusion. The snowman ornament can also achieve a tri-color effect using three colors. Other ornaments, such as Christmas lights and bells, can achieve multi-color effects by pausing the print layer and swapping filament.\r\n\r\nEach ornament features a built-in hook that attaches securely to the tree's branches, while the Christmas lights are designed with a special mechanism to keep them in place within the branch loop.\r\n\r\nFiles labeled with "A," "B," or "C" suffixes are designed for multi-color prints. Files without these suffixes are intended for single-color extrusion. Single-color files include Realistic_Tree, 5_Point_Star, and Tree_Topper.\r\n\r\nFiles suitable for 1-2 colors include 10_Point_Star, Bell, Candy_Cane, Christmas_Lights, Elongated_Sphere, Sphere_Sliced, and SphereZig (also known as Sphere).\r\n\r\nFor optimal results with multi-color prints, files like Snowman are highly recommended to be printed in three colors.\r\n\r\nThe designer used a Prusa MK2 Multi-Material Kit for printing all ornaments. The Christmas Tree was printed on a Rostock Max V2, while the small "presents" are actually wipe blocks from multi-color prints on the Prusa MK2MM.
