jewelry tree

thingiverse

I decided to create a unique jewelry holder for my girlfriend's birthday, one that resembles a tree. Alongside this gift, I'm planning to share the pineapple hangers I've made in the near future. To build the tree design, I utilized a blender's tree generator tool, which unfortunately isn't suitable for 3D printing due to its mesh-intersections and open holes throughout. After several hours of manually fixing these issues, I was able to make it printable using Cura 3.6, although the mesh quality remains relatively poor. Preparing this design for printing will require a substantial amount of support material; utilizing "tree-support" (which is specifically designed to hold trees in place) seems like the best approach.
