Morovian Star Tree Topper

thingiverse

I designed this to allow for putting a medium size bulb (mine is 27mm at the widest) inside to light up the star. You could also add the bottom point, just be aware that the bottom hole is slightly larger than all the others. I originally tried to print this to "snap" together with really tight tolerances, but after breaking a number of joiners and points, I started shaving out the inside of the holes so that the pieces fit together easily, and used hot glue to keep it all together. Your mileage may vary depending on the tolerances, I recommend printing some joiners and one of each point first to make sure you can get them together before you commit to the whole thing :) I used vase mode (spiralize in Cura) to print the points, to keep the walls thin and to eliminate any seams - I recommend you do the same for best results. You can mix and match the T(all) and S(hort) versions of the point squares - I put one of the Tall versions at NSWE compass points when viewed from top/front, minus the bottom point of course, but you could put all tall, or all short, or some other combination. The Tall version is 80mm, the Short is 70mm, and the Triangle points are 60mm. You will need to print: - 5x "Point Square T" - 12x "Point Square S" - 8x "Point Triangle" - 17x "Square Joiner" - 8x "Triangle Joiner" - 1x Base - 1x Light Holder (?) The light holder is most likely not going to work for you unless you have the exact same light bulb set as I have, so you will likely need to print a version that conforms to your light bulbs. In case it is not obvious, the joiners are put into the base holes from the inside, and then the points are glued/pressed onto the exposed ring.
