Oh no!
What are you going to do?
Well, it's your lucky day!
For I have here the latest model of the groundbreaking, risk-taking, change-making Modular 3D Printed Christmas Tree* from the innovative boffins of 3DFreeman Industries!

Another year, already?
ok some actual helpful information: The full tree, that is one built with one of each trunk sections stands just under a 1 metre tall. Being modular you can easily double that if you want to, or alternatively you could make one half the size.
Between each trunk part you will need a connector; for the bigger parts use C2 and when you get to the smaller parts use C1.
Each trunk can hold up to 12 "leaves" and they can be rotated when inserted and should be a fairly tight fit. I did a lot of testing to fine tune this, but obviously there are a million different printers out there, so it you need adjustments, use your slicer and scale in tiny increments.
The F type leaves are what I used for the pictured tree and work well for hanging decorations off, but I included some alternatives, the S & R types. The L type leaves are more of a blank for you to do your own design, or if you want just to make a big plant unrelated to the holiday season.
It works well if you match the trunk number to the leaf number but all the parts share the same size joint, so you can mix it up if you like.
I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
