Xmas Tree Twist

thingiverse

Here we have a Christmas tree with a unique twist! Complete with its own .stl file for a snowflake topper! Make one, make many, and get ready for a happy holiday! The tree demands a 0.2mm or finer model detail to print successfully. At 0.2mm, three perimeters will be necessary to make it work smoothly, but infill can be reduced to 10%; no support or raft is required. This model can also be scaled easily, as I printed both at 50% without any issues. The top features a 6mm x 6mm square for the snowflake to fit perfectly into. The snowflake is straightforward and was printed with 0.3mm layers and 10% infill without supports or rafts. The estimated print time is around 8 hours for the tree at 0.2mm. If you encounter issues with the tips curling during the print on longer sections, try slowing down your print speed and ensuring adequate cooling for your printer.
