Description
This generator easily allows you to create a beautiful three using simple words or names.
The generated object is divided in three parts (the upper star, the crown of the tree composed by up to five texts/names, and the trunk of the tree composed by one or two texts) that perfectly fits together and you will need just a little glue to glue them together.
Here’s a complete guide to the generating parameters.
Subscribers to my Get to the source commercial membership can get access to the original .SCAD files and use OpenSCAD nightly builds to run them, if you don’t know how to do it, I wrote a full but simple step by step guide that you can find attached to this project.

This section contains a lot of settings related to how the rendering is done.
| Parameter | Description | default |
|---|---|---|
| render_mode | What has to be rendered and how, this value can be:
| All |
| render_quality | Choose the quality of generation of the objects, the higher quality the more memory/time generation will take. This value can be:
My advice is to find your settings for the whole object using Basic to Standard rendering, then switching to Production but render only a single part of the object per time using the render_mode setting above. | Standard |
| explode_distance | Choose the distance when using All -exploded for the render_mode parameters above.
This value can be:
| Near |
| star_filament | Select a standard filament for the star.
Provided list is the list of Bambu Lab filaments with their correct color codes.
You can also set this parameter to Custom and select your custom color in the star_color parameter below. | Bambu Lab PLA Basic Yellow |
