RGB LED Christmas Tree Stand

<p>I have built multiple RGB LED Christmas Tree kits and didn't like how they look just sitting on their black plastic battery holder. So I designed and printed a tree stand that the tree can mount to using 2.5mm or 3mm screws.</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand: </strong>Prusa</p><p><strong>Printer: </strong>Prusa i3 MK2S</p><p><strong>Rafts: </strong>No</p><p><strong>Supports: </strong>Doesn't Matter</p><p><strong>Resolution: </strong>.15 mm or .2mm</p><p><strong>Infill: </strong>25% - 30%</p><p><strong>Filament: </strong>SUNLU PLA+ Silk Silver</p><h3>Post-Printing</h3><p><strong>Assembly Notes</strong></p><p>You can use 2.5mm or 3mm screws, I used a 2.5mm tap. PLA doesn't tap well unless you go really slow. PETG is a lot easier to tap in my experience. You can probably just use 2.5mm screws without tapping, but I haven't tried that yet.</p><h3>How I Designed This</h3><p><strong>About the design process...</strong></p><p>I run Ubuntu Linux on all my home computers. This limits my choices for CAD software so I have taught myself how to use FreeCAD since there is a native Linux version that seems to be getting more stable as time goes by.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Category: 3D Printing</p>
