I made this ornament five years ago as my first design. My design skills at that time were beginner. I decided it would be a good project to use Blender to look at and fix the original model. I immediately noticed a massive issue with the model. The text on some of the letters wasn't even connected to the bars! This would fully explain why certain letters were falling off. Since the gap between the letters and the bars was less than .2mm, I'm figuring that the reasons I was able to print this on my old printer were a combination of it being way less precise, printing slower, and needing rafts to be successful. Because I printed in PVB, I also placed it hanging on a string inside a tubberware container with a bit of isopropyl alcohol on the bottom. This was to give the smooth, icy look, but also had the unintended success of letting the letters and the bars fuse together.

To fix the text issue, I separated the letters, moved the offending letters' top and bottom vertices to make sure they all intersected with the bar, then added a bool modifier to merge the shapes back together. The original model had a few manifold edges to clean up too. This version is the file named ChristmasTreeOrnament_OriginalWithFixedText.stl.
I also decided to use this opportunity to make enhancements to the model, both for looks and for ease of printing. The first major change I made was to the trees. They weren't touching the printing surface at all. I took all the back faces, laid them flat, and then gave the edges a bevel to soften the edges. This is most visible on the top and left views of the below picture. The second change was to the bars. My original intention when designing this was to make them look like shelves. I increased the height and gave them a bevel. It gives the bars a slightly more pronounced look by separating the text from them a bit. This is most seen with the shadows by the bars in the overhead view and the bit of thickness seen in all views. This version is the file named ChristmasTreeOrnament_Updated.stl. I will also be uploading the Blender file.
