A conical pass-through vortex fidget toy I printed a while ago brought a Christmas tree to mind. It just needed a topper, and some tweaks to the shape. Feeling inspired, I opened Fusion, and this thing was born.
I had initially intended to make the topper star-shaped, but quickly realized that wouldn't really work with the binary operations required for the pass-through vortex. So, the topper became a hexagon (bestagon) instead. I have included an alternative star-shaped topper as well, for those that may want a more traditional look, but that blocks the pass-through functionality, making it a one-way vortex instead.
My tree is printed in Fillamentum PLA Extrafill "Green Grass", Prusament PLA Galaxy Silver and add:north E-PLA yellow (3D hex topper) or Polymaker PolyLite PLA Silk Gold (old hex topper and star topper), with a 0.4 mm nozzle, layer height set to 0.1 mm (0.2 mm should work fine as well) and infill set to 50% rectilinear (for added weight). Parts should be printed as oriented in the files.

Reworked the hexagonal topper to be a 3D hexagon. The files for the original "flat" hex topper are still available, in a separate folder. Sadly, I don't have any gold filament on hand at the moment, so the one in the pictures is just yellow for now.
