yet another tree of life earrings but different!

This tree of life comes in two versions. One with a fixed tree and one with the tree suspended by a thread. This allows the tee to move slightly inside the outer ring. For this one, ypou need to stop the printer at half way though the print, lay a thread of cotton, from the top to the bottom of the earring, add a tiny spot of super glue to ensure the thread stays attached to the tree and the top of the ring, continue with the print. Cura slicer has the option to "pause at layer" and the printer head can be moved to the rear right hand corner of the print bead so that it is out of the way.You can also add another pause so that the outer ring has a different colour. I printed the tree in wood PLA and then last layers of the puter ring in silver for example. Once print has finished, cut away the thread, between the tree and the ring, below the tree and any thread on the outer side of the ring. File V5 is two trees together
