Summary

This is a hybrid Voronoi Christmas Angel, designed to sit on top of an artificial Christmas tree or as a standalone ornament.

As artificial trees have little stiffness at the top due to their wire frame, I designed this angel to be as light as I could.

The model can be printed in one piece and is a good test of the capabilities of any printer.

The last few layers are a little nerve-wracking, see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTHevr8EN9o&t=18s

I've included 2 models; one with a hoop, the other with a hole in the bottom allow fitment to the top of the tree. I was hoping to print a smaller model to hang as a decoration, but haven't had any success yet!

For the best effect, thread 3 or 4 LED fairy lights inside the fairy to light it up from inside - for once the stringiness helps as it diffuses the light.

Merry Christmas and happy new year!
