3D model description

#CHRISTMASXCULTS

This model consists of two parts. One is the spiral tree, and the other is the base to hold the tree. After the first print, you will get a 1cm thick tree and a circular base. The tree is designed to have 40 branches that revolve around the trunk. And the branches have little bumps on them to hold them at the exact angle of rotation the designer intended. After rotating all the branches to the right angle, you'll see a beautiful spiral Christmas Tree. The floorboard is designed with the idea of grass covered in snow.
If you print the tree with white filament and then paint the sides of the tree green before rotating the branches, it will look like snow has fallen on the tree.

If you use a printer that supports multicolor (I use Bambu Lab's P1S), it's much easier to get great results. If you're using Bambu AMS, the nice thing is that your printer will only poop twice while printing with this design.

stl, step, 3df(two color) files included
Both tree and base files are separated, but you can print them at once on most of printers. They are separated for the case of increasing scale.

-Important-
When you start turning the branches, start at the top and carefully turn them one by one. The middle of the branches are very thin and easy to break if you are careless. The design tolerance is 0.2mm, and depending on the precision of your printer, you may want to print at a higher scale. (The tree in the GIF animation was upscaled 120%, which made it much easier to rotate the branches than the original size).

3D printing settings

FOR FDM
Tree: 0.2mm layer height, over30% infill recommended.
Base : 0.08mm Extra Fine, 15% infill recommended.(if you want smooth snow effect)

No Support, No Brim

Leveling the bed is very important. There are some very small parts in the first layer that need to be settled.
