I just stumbled upon an older upload of mine... that jewelry tree thingy. In the description I promised to also upload the depicted pineapple ear hangers someday. Which I never did. But today is that day:

Pineapple ear hangers! They hang on ears. They look like pineapples. But much smaller and lighter and therefore won't wear out your earlobes. They are simply great!

One thing though: they can be tough to print, so don't skip the print-settings section this time.

Notes:

As already mentioned, it's a bit tricky (again). First check if the size is fine for you - I'm not sure anymore if my .stl was the final size or if I scaled it up a bit. For a small print you need to use a small nozzle, something in the range of 0,2mm width.

Then carefully use support on the outside wherever possible to make the part stay put, no matter how small the first layer contact area is.

Print slow and hot for good layer fusion. Use some fan on the topmost part to prevent melting (or just print several pieces at once).

I also noticed that changing filament at the leave part makes for a nice effect.

Also worth a try: acetone smoothing. It turned out to be a disaster as you can see in the pictures gallery (the brownish ones; supposed to be golden). But at a shorter period of time and maybe some heat this could work out.

Also worth thinking of: I was told that they are a bit too light and can easily get caught in messy hair. So maybe adding a lead bead (from the fishing store) mid-print could help here.

BTW: the line for attaching the pineapples to the hook is also from the fishing store, so you have to go to the fishing store anyway. If you don't have some ear hanger hooks... I guess you already know where to find them.

Just kidding - don't use a fishing hook! That'd be dangerous and kind of weird.
