Christmas trees (can print in vase mode)

I wanted to make a Christmas tree decoration in Blender as a learning project to do. I ended up deciding to make a design that is simple but has a little variation in depth. The result is the trees with Straight in their filename.

Then I wanted to see how it would look if I would rotate points placed evenly throughout the tree. The result is the trees with Rotated in their filename.

I then took it one step further to add more variation. I took all the points at a height and rotated them on the Z axis then added a modifier to warp the trees.  The result is the trees with Warped in their filename.

I ended up making a few variations for each model.

• First are stl files of the basic tree shapes
• Second are 3mf files with that specific shape but with a modifier to add a hole on the bottom to add a tea light.
• Third are stl files to use in vase mode with the hole for the light.

Notes

• I was using older PVB for most of my prints. No matter how many days I dried it in my filament dry,  it was still giving me a cloth like texture. My plan was to vapor smooth it with isopropyl alcohol, but I liked the texture so I kept it as is instead of smoothing. I did test in PLA and PETG to make sure it wasn’t the model giving the texture that I know not everyone would like. They printed very clean at .3 mm layer height.
• Because of the top of the trees are sharp tips, they did have a slightly imperfect tip. I was easily able to clean these out with scissors to cut off the string and arm little bit of filing to clean the tip. The slicer gives empty layer warnings at the very tip of a couple of the taller models. This does not effect the final print.
• The 3mf files are for PVB as that was the filament that I was primarily using.
