Customizable Organic Tree Support Designs

Boost MeBoost me for more templates like this!

Tree supports are clearly popular on Makerworld. They feature designs with a bunch of organic supports holding up the critical regions as a part of the design rather than something to take off. I thought, why not make the tree itself the whole design?

 

Usage:

1. Download and open the model, then select the “Objects” tab and open up the assembly on the build plate.
2. Ignoring the first item in the assembly, move around the nodes. These will be the leaves of the tree, where the branches go and end.
3. Slice and repeat moving around/duplicating the nodes until you are satisfied with your new tree.
4. Print and enjoy!

NOTE: If you do not have an AMS and do not wish to make the tree multicolor, please delete one of the filaments to make the tree one single color. This also works to save plenty of time and filament.
