Mini Christmas Tree With Hook On Decorations!

myminifactory

The perfect mini Christmas tree for your desk or office, or as a decoration around the house is now within reach. This printable design requires no support, but the designed in support version is recommended to ensure a good result. The support should be easily removable and acts to prevent the print from breaking away while printing the widest points of the branches. The pot and tree are all one piece. Use three shells and 35% infill to make the finer features strong. There are three different decorations you can print in your choice of colors. It's recommended to print the base of the decorations in the same color filament as the tree so the hook is not noticeable, then pause the machine at 3mm or about 75% completed and change the filament to the color of your choice for your decorations. Print as many as you like - they're very small and take almost no time to make. Print the top star separately in your choice of color - no support required. Once printed, remove the raft and support then decorate your tree by hanging the decorations on the branches and place the star on top - this prints really well in PLA on Replicator 2's and 5th Generation Replicators. At standard scale, the total height including the star is about 100mm tall and is about 60mm round at the widest point. If you test a couple of decorations and find they're too tight to fit on the branches, just scale them up about 5% to increase the size of the hole through them. A great little 3D printed multi-part Christmas decoration awaits you. This print has fine detail/clearances, however most well set up, accurate, 3D printers should be able to print this well as shown in the images.
