EDIT 2023/01/27: Added STP files at the request of Robdanig for easier remixing!

Also, if you like the idea of adding LEDs, please check out the remix by mcurtis!

This is a Christmas Tree topper styled after some of the architectural details on Borromini's Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza church in Rome, Italy. I really appreciated the shape of it when we were learning about it, and wanted to create a 3d model, so I thought this would be a great use for it!

The design is broken into seperate peices for easy printing. There is a core and then a series of spikes. The core has pins to locate the spikes, and they are of different sizes so that things don't get mixed up.

A bit of extra tolerance is added into the model to hopefully make assembly go easier. It also adds some nice shadow lines to the assembled piece!

Please print:

1x 01 Borromini Star Core

8x 02 Borromini Star Lower Spike

8x 03 Borromini Star Middle Spike

4x 04 Borromini Star Upper Spike A

4x 05 Borromini Star Upper Spike B

1x 06 Borromini Star Top Spike

Happy printing!

I would only use supports for the core, as it has some impossible overhangs. Everything else should be good.
