Herrnhuter Stern Auxiliaries

Here are two supporting parts for the Herrnhuter Star, which you can find at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4936670 (with LED) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4936655 (without LED) First is a hook, which can be attached on the top of a window. It will work with a frame thickness of up to 20 mm. You can even close the window (pressing the edge against the rubber insulation). If the window frame is very thin, there is a spacer to narrow the gap by half, but it can be adjusted (scale the part in the slicer in one direction only). Lastly, there is a small clip to clamp the wire closer to the upper spike. This is not a suitable strain relief to carry the star. It will only keep the wire somewhat aligned. The wire should be fixed at the center core to carry the weight. Note, that you can print the hook without any support by rolling it to the side and following the slanted angle. In Cura, select "Rotate" and then the third option "select face to align to the build plate", then click on the flat side surface of the model. Don't mind the knobs on the bottom. I was just experimenting a little bit in Fusion 360.
