Christmas Tree Advent Calendar

thingiverse

I wanted to create a desktop 'non- chocolate' advent calendar to count down the days until Christmas. With the tree stand you slowly slot on the numbered 'stars' until Christmas Eve, the flat 'stars' slowly building up a 3D christmas tree. The final tree is fairly small (~12cm in height), but just big enough to fit in a large jam jar ready for next year. Mine will be sat on my desk at work to keep me festive all of December! WARNING: Some of the parts are small and sharp. This print would need to be scaled up and the points on the finished stars softened with a blow torch before giving to children. .stl files: The tree_stand and 24(star) were printed individually. The other 'stars' were printed in 4 different colours, so have been provided arranged as 4 beds worth of prints. I have also provided a zip file of the 'stars' as separate stl files. For good measure, I've also included a complete tree....just in case. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 2 Supports: No Resolution: 0.3 Infill: 10% Notes: My advent calendar was printed in the following Faberdashery colours: tree_stand - Woodland Brown 24(star) - Bling Bling Gold (this file will also need a raft) 1 to 23 - a combination of Crystal Clear, Jade Green, Village Green and Greenery Green Post-Printing As mentioned above you may wish to scale up the design and soften the sharp points of the 'stars' after printing.
