Mr. Christmas Nostalgic Ceramic Christmas Tree 18 Inches Tall 93 Bulbs

thingiverse

Update 6/5/24: I am being told that the tree with holes on the bottom or for the light is not printable, and I can't find a way to solve it right now. YOU CAN print it without the holes, and drill them in by hand.I have a Revopoint Pop3 Digital Scanner, and this is a scan of one of the Mr. Christmas Nostalgic Ceramic Christmas Trees!!! My grandma had one growing up and I LOVED IT, now you can make your own!Print notes:I sized it perfectly to fit my ender3pro at 300%, so when you bring it into cura (or w/e slicer you use), you can format EVERYTHING EVENLY to 300%, or max your board out. Just make sure they are scaled evenly.The files are the tree with no holes (if you just want the tree), the tree with all the proper holes and a solid bottom, a tree with all the holes and NO bottom (for a light bulb stand, just google Industrial Table Lamp Base, Small Polished Metal Desktop Light Sockets Base Only and buy something cheap), a bulb and a starThe tree with holes, bulb and star and scaled together, the "tree no holes" I can max at out about 61% on my boardThe tree itself takes 1 star, and 93 bulbs. I did a curved contour on the bulbs just like the real thing, so you might print a few extra. And if you print them in clear and add a light they will glow!You will notice, the holes are NOT PERFECTLY CIRCULAR. I would print relatively thin walls on the tree, then go in with a Dremel drill where necessary for fine tuning the holes.Print the tree FIRST, then 1 bulb scaled to w/e size the tree is, and check the fit. I would do the same with the star. For sure none of them will fall in, but some holes may need widening.If you don't want to mess with the scaling at all, I created a "project folder" in Cura that includes the tree, 94 bulbs and 1 star all at 300%. You can open that and print straight away!I guess if you really wanted to, you could print the whole tree (no holes), then sink the bulb into the print plate so the "stem" is removed, print them in any color you want, them SUPER GLUE them on!Unless you have an AMAZING printer that can handle an overhang of like 70-75%, you will need supports for the first layer of "branches"I think it turned out REALLY great, considering a had to digitally insert all the holes since my scanner didn't pick them up!
