Christmas Tree Themed Container
Description
Christmas is almost here and I wanted to design something in that theme. I decided to make this container shaped like a Christmas tree. The uploaded design is a container that can be used for storing candy, jewellery or anything else you wish. The model is around 23 cm tall and 11 cm wide. You can scale as required. I used a thick base so it won't topple over and printed it in a different color (grey-brown will be nice) using the pause at Z-add on in Cura-the rest in pine green. I think I got some movement when filament was changed so a bit of layer shift. You can modify this by printing 3D greetings text on side, adding an angel on top or even pasting some 3D or 2D decorations. I have left it bear. Another variation is to design a hole at the bottom so that a LED light could be added. If you need to add an LED light print with low infill (15%)-balance strength vs transparency. I printed top at 100%(0.2 resolution) and bottom at 20% (0.3 resolution). Enjoy! Merry Christmas. Update: 15 Dec19 I 3D printed at 0.15 mm resolution some decorations by scaling down the following designs to 1 cm with heights 2 mm from links below. I also scaled down an angel model as well and glued then onto the Christmas tree. New pics of final design uploaded. If you are adventurous you could combine decorations with the tree using the array command but unless you had a multiple extruder it may not show up well.
