This is a companion set of two trees to go with the model “Let there be light”. This posting has 2 unique tree styles that are unique and different visual effect designed to be spiky instead of curvy, but still allow the light to get through.

This model is a vase-mode print that allows for a unique semi-transparent lighting effect.

You can use a color changing LED puck (like these) to create different effects, such as warm, cool, or rainbow colors. The model also includes several different toppers, which are also compatible with the original “Let there be light” model.

You can mix and match the toppers to suit your preference or occasion. The print includes the tree, a diffuser cone for a LED puck light to shine into, and the toppers. The model is designed to be easy to print and assemble, and does not require any supports or infill.

Light Up Your Holidays! is a perfect decoration for your home or office, or a great gift for your friends and family. Enjoy and happy holidays!

Printing instructions

• The tree and the diffuser cone both print in vase mode. 0.2 layer height and walls from 0.42-0.6 mm work fine on a 0.4 mm nozzle.
• You can print the toppers however you like, they should not generally need support for the hole required to mount them on the tree, however some extreme overhangs like the one on the Star of David could use a tiny bit of tree support.

Usage

• Put a LED puck or lighting source inside the diffuser cone, and the tree model on top. Finally, top with your topper of choice. Glue in place if desired.
• Note: The Mario Star comes with 4 little black eyes that should press-in-place. Optionally glue them in if you want.
