Neopixel tree

thingiverse

A sleek and sophisticated Christmas tree shines bright with its ws2812 LED strip, boasting an impressive 36 LEDs in a mesmerizing display. At the heart of this dazzling spectacle lies an Arduino NANO controller, expertly orchestrating the light show with precision and flair. To bring this festive masterpiece to life, use any transparent filament you like - but make sure it's one that can handle the demands of 100% infill. Set your printer to a layer height of 0.2-0.25 mm, and opt for two shells to give it a sturdy base. And don't worry about supports - this tree is designed to stand tall without them. But that's not all - you'll also need to secure the back lid with a few drops of super glue to keep everything in place. For inspiration, I turned to DemoReel100 sketch from the FastLed Arduino library - but feel free to experiment with any sketches that strike your fancy. And if you want to see the animation in action, simply click "view original" on the second picture to get a glimpse of the magic at work. One final note: to print this model, make sure you have a printer with a spacious printbed - one that measures at least 250x180 mm. With these specifications in mind, you'll be well on your way to creating a truly show-stopping Christmas tree that's sure to dazzle and delight.
