Christmas Tree (Kissmas Tree)(New Files!)

New files as of December 4th, 2022. including several variations of a star topper for the tree (Regular star,  exploding star, topper for the candy platform, a replacement topper, etc.). Also a platform-less tree as requested by another maker.

This is a decorative Christmas tree designed to be decorated with Hugs and Kisses, as well as other candy, in place of the traditional ornaments. It's something everyone can enjoy! There are 7 stackable pieces total that can all be printed on a standard printer with no supports.

See an assembly video and preview of it here: https://youtu.be/g9JTwMSOkVI

Mix and match the new versions for an even more decorative tree!

I've added a new version of the original tree with tighter tolerances in the middle. Each of the new tree's listed below also have the tighter tolerance in the fitment of the pieces. It might be a good idea to make sure you're not over extruding before printing. The pieces are loose enough that the tree can be assembled and disassembled, but has enough friction that the tree will stay together if you move it.

NEW TREE'S!

30mm Platform Tree: This tree has wider platforms which allows for a wider range of candy and items that can be placed on the tree. The original tree has 24mm platforms and the 30mm should accommodate things like chocolate bells, Reese's, and etc.

Cupped Bottom Tree: This tree has cupped platforms instead of flat platforms. It is designed to work well with circular candy. It holds Lindt Lindor chocolates perfectly (28mm or about an inch). Due to the cupped platform, it will accommodate many different sizes of circular candy as well. Rather than roll around on the platform they will stay in the middle even if they are smaller. 

Deeper Tree: This tree has platforms the same size as the original, but the cups are about twice as deep. With the higher sides they will seat and securely hold circular candy like Lindt Lindor sized chocolates (around 28mm/1inch) very well. Still having a flat bottom, they will still work well with other candies and items like kisses.

Print instructions

The orientation of pieces should already be correct. The top 4 pieces should all fit on a single print bed. The base as well as first and second tree pieces will probably have to be their own print. All pieces are designed to be printed without supports. I used silk filament for the pics.
