There are two versions of this star Christmas tree topper: interlocking and flat. The interlocking version has a lip to help align the two halves but requires supports - ideally with a multi-material support interface. I used Bambu Lab Translucent Red PLA for the main bodies and generic PETG for the support interface. It may be possible to use this version with normal supports but in my experience there was too much post printing cleanup needed to be worth the hassle - probably better off just using the flat version.
The flat version does not include the lip and can be printing without supports. The two halves butt together without any alignment features.
Both versions have posts that can be used to wrap lights around. I tried both of these and liked the warmer color of USB-powered ones the best:
The sleeve holds the two halves together pretty well but of course you can glue the halves together if you want.
For best visual results, I set the infill to 100% with a concentric pattern. Other patterns were quite visible through the translucent filament. I used Bambu slicer but I assume Prusa slicer has similar settings.
