Christmas star lights

thingiverse

A star to use as ornament for your christmas tree, with the ability to add five independent multicolour LEDs inside, one for each branch of the star. The model is simple to print. The star is in two halves and made to be printed with transparent plastic. It is ready to put 5 LEDs from a NeoPixel strip inside, or to be used as a simple ornament for a christmas tree. There is a hole between the two bottom branches for an electric wire and there is a tiny hole in the top branch to put a small wire to hang the star. I fixed a bug with the customizer. To remember: the version of OpenSCAD used by customizer is older than 2014.03. Full explanations and a demo video in a christmas tree are available on my website. Instructions To build one star, just print twice the "star_print1.stl" object and print once the "star_print2.stl" object. The second object is used to assemble the two star halves. It is not required to use glue but it can make the star more solid. I have printed everything with 100% filling. It can be printed with 0% filling for a more transparent (and less solid) result. I have used 1.75mm transparent ABS on a Mendel printer and on a Makerbot Thing-o-Matic but it should work with any plastic and any 3D printer.
