Spinning Christmas Star

cults3d

This design showcases multiple (3 or 4) outline style Christmas stars spinning independently on a centre shaft. The shaft runs from the smallest star through the outer stars to the mount / end cap, creating a 'new dimension' in Christmas Star decorations. This is a straightforward, easy one-piece print that uses minimal filament and produces a smart moving (rotating) decoration. Two versions and two sizes of each type are available as follows: Hanging - This version features a top mounting hole for hanging up. Files provided are for 3 stars (116mm x 120mm) or 4 stars (153mm x 158mm). Tree - Designed to be used on the top of a Christmas Tree, it has a thin hole up the centre for mounting on artificial trees with a top stem up to approx. 4mm in diameter. Alternatively, insert a rod or skewer into the base hole and secure it to the tree's top stem with wire, cable ties, or similar. Files provided are for 3 stars (116mm x 133mm) or 4 stars (153mm x 164mm). With an accurate slicing app and well-set up / precise machine, the design should leave all parts free to move straight off the build plate (with Raft removed). Scaling up is no problem, but scaling down more than about 5% may result in parts fusing so unable to move independently. Print one for your tree's top and more to hang from it or other places as bright / colorful and unique decorations for use over the Christmas period.
