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.
