In today’s appropriately festive 3D printer news, I’ve printed replacement feet for some ornamental Christmas trees:
These feet took a while to design — the organic shapes and border ridges were new concepts to me in OpenSCAD, but I was able to settle on a design that could be printed without supports.
Spot the original, if you can!
The feet didn’t require supports, but this was only because I printed the “toe” separately and attached it with acetone afterwards. If I hadn’t done this, I would have had to print a bunch of additional support along the bottom of the foot.
The trees are similar to OpenSCAD script and STL file are available on GitHub. Feliz Navidad!
Hi, some amazing designs and output here – could I ask what hardware you use? Many thanks!
They’re all printed on an Orion Delta 3D by SeeMeCNC.
I cannot find STL file for this Christmas tree leg. My wife has a broken one, and this will make her happier with 3D printer purchase. Could you share?
