Overview:
My take on a deconstructed Christmas tree that uses a lot of bridging! Designed to print without supports but I have included a couple versions with the appropriate supports for anyone who has trouble without them.

All in all there are 4x different versions of the g-code (for Prusa i3 MK3s) as follows:

Dual color - recommended
Single color
Dual color + supports
Single color + supports

Printing:
No need for supports! I recommend using the g-code I provided to make sure all print settings are correct and I don't recommend scaling the model up or down. The strings are designed to be printed with a 0.4mm diameter nozzle and 0.3mm layer height, so changing their size will affect the print. If you're interested in a scaled up version, just let me know and I'd be happy to put one together!

Here are some other recommended settings to use if you re-slice:

Wipe while retracting - Enabled
Detect bridging perimeters - Enabled
Seam position - Nearest
Bridge speed - < 5mm/s
Also, I recommend using a higher nozzle temperature for the tree trunk to help the hoops droop some more. I just manually changed the temperature to 230C at the start of the print and turned it back down to 210 - 215C when I changed colors.
