Reinforced Snowflake Christmas Tree v3 - Customizable Message

This is a modified project from the original files with the following changes:

• The entire project was scaled down to 78.59% of original size so that all of the tree layers can fit on a single build plate (at least on my Prusa Mk4)
• Added a layer interrupt at 1.50 for a color change (I used green for the leaves and brown for a tree trunk to make it look more realistic.)
• The star has been reinforced to be stronger so that it won't break as easily as the original. Use organic supports when printing.
• The base has been modified to show ‘Merry Christmas’ on the bottom. The text can be modified for your own custom message.

The project files use Mk4 input shaping, but the profile can be changed to your own. As long as you keep the same scale, you can fit all tree layers on one plate.

At .10mm layer height, the tree prints in 4h0m. The Star prints in 23m. The base prints in 32m. Total project time is 4hr55m

I found that using a small amount of glue on each peg before inserting it helps to keep it in place. Be sure to place each layer with the peg pointing down. Base > Large-Small Layers > Star

I used Starbond Accelerator to add a ‘frosted’ look to the tree layers. When using activator on CA glue, I noticed that it can add some white residue, so I used that to make it look like the tree has been out in the cold and had a frosted look.

For the tree leaves I used Polymaker Forest Green

For the tree pegs I used Polymaker Matte Earth Brown

For the base I used Polymaker Starlight Mars

For the star I used Polymaker Dual Silk Gold/Silver
