Description
Evergreen tree printed in vase mode with space for led candle (without it's cover)
Candle insert that will fit the model is shown on the 4th photo
You can resize the model for different inserts
This one is for 3,45cm diameter
If you want you can use it as a hanging decoration (like on xmas tree). Just cut off the tip and put some string with a knot inside
It can be used without led insert as a normal decoration (standing or hanging)

IMPORTANT:
xmas22_tree-led may work only in Prusa / Super Slicer
You will need to set the bottom layers to cover first 5,6mm (for example 28 layers with 0.2mm)
Then you will have stronger walls on the bottom where the led insert will go
I tried it in Cura but it fills the whole model (between walls) on this layers instead of printing the model in normal way followed then by spiralize mode - maybe there is a way (or it will work on older / newer Cura)
You can try printing it in normal mode, without top or bottom layers
xmas22_tree-led_solid is with solid bottom and should work on every slicer in vase mode (without any bottom layers)
But the bottom, wich holds the insert, will be much weaker

I was printing it with 0.4mm nozzle and +20% highier flow (so like around 0.5mm nozzle)
Insert from led candle is thight fit then - without any glueing
If you will print with different options you can just use a hot glue (or any other glue) to glue insert in
To be sure there will be no holes, no rolled up corners etc. you can slow down the speed, add more cooling or just use smaller layer height / bigger nozzle / highier flow
The best quality should be with constant speed
