✨ Tree Variants

  • Open spiral with exposed top Designed for attaching the LED strip to the inner or outer wall. Use any filament you like.

  • Closed hollow spiral Ideal for translucent filament – the LED strip slides inside the spiral for a soft glowing effect.

💡 Electronics

  • Recommended LED strip: FOB COB Led Light RA90, length 700 mm, width 8 mm

  • Controller: RF14 LED Light Strip Controller

  • LED strip can be glued to the spiral or inserted into the cavity (closed version)

  • All electronics fit inside the snap-fit base

  • For other electronics, you can customize the base opening using your slicer

⭐ Star

  • Slides onto a peg – may be tight, gently press or adjust tolerances if needed

📏 Dimensions

  • Base diameter: 120 mm

  • Total height: 240 mm

🖨 Printing Tips

  • Base prints in two parts – use supports where the spiral connects

  • Star needs strong adhesion – use extra brim or supports to prevent detachment

  • Spiral is the trickiest part – I printed it lying flat with supports, but feel free to experiment!

  • When printing the spiral, the supports may break off. Clean the plate thoroughly so that the supports hold well.

  • Slow down the print speed for better results

  • For the closed version, make sure supports don’t generate inside the cavity

🎁 A festive, functional decoration or gift. If you find a better printing method, share it with the community!

Version 2 broke off during printing, so I don't have the whole model. And I didn't want to print it again (I don't have another LED strip anyway 😁).

Models tested on Bambu Lab H2D and Creality Hi.

⚠ The spiral tilts forward under its own weight. I hadn't noticed that before. It can be supported with a 35 mm strut (not included in the print). 

🆕 The other files contain the program for Arduino Nano and WS2812B 60led/m LED strip. Animation in the attached video.
