Autumn Maple Tree Display / LED Backlit Accent Piece

Bring a warm, rustic autumn feel to your desk, mantel, or shelf with this tabletop LED Autumn Maple Tree Display! Featuring a branching tree trunk structure paired with loose, customizable maple leaves, this piece allows you to build a vibrant, dimensional fall canopy that glows beautifully when backlit. 

To give you complete creative freedom for your display:

Dual Base Options: Choose between two included base styles—a standard base featuring just the secure tree mounting inset, or an LED base built with a dedicated inset slot to run an LED strip directly across the base itself, projecting light upward into the tree trunk and canopy!

Customizable Canopy & Layout: Includes 9 individual loose leaves in various sizes. Glue them directly onto the branch tips, layer them across the canopy, or place a few around the base as fallen foliage. Leaves can be easily duplicated or scaled in your slicer to create your own unique tree design!

Originally conceptualized as a custom woodworking project, this model has been fully adapted for 3D printing with precise mounting tolerances and clean wire routing. Print it as a standalone tabletop decor piece or use it as a physical template guide for scroll saw or router woodworking!

Key Features:

• Dual Base Variants (Standard vs. LED): Pick the standard mounting base or the LED-integrated base to suit your preferred lighting setup.

• Precision Fit & Wire Pass-Through: Both 6.00″ base options feature built-in alignment insets and tabs to securely slot the tree trunk upright.

• Base LED Strip Channel: The LED base option features an integrated inset slot designed to hold an LED strip directly beneath the tree trunk, illuminating the canopy and fallen leaves from below. It also includes a dedicated rear slotted pass-through hole to route power cords cleanly out the back.
