Description

I created a 25-point star last year and learned a lot from that model, so I decided to try to upgrade it for this year!  This one has 60 points; 12 sets, each with 5 points.  As you can see in the pictures, it can be printed scaled down to 50% (A1 mini), at 100% P and X series) and up to 128% to fit the H2D!  This star is hollow to allow for lights to pushed up further into the star.  And there are 4 different versions to choose from!  I personally like the star on plate 3 the best.  Each one has custom-drawn supports.  I printed them in translucent PETG and translucent PLA.  I found the PETG to be the easiest and best looking but it was easier to remove the supports in translucent PLA.   And if you have time, and really want it to be translucent, slow the printer down (either in the setting or just switch it to silent mode).  I find the slower you print translucent filament, the clear it is.  (You can also increase the layer thickness, as that helps too.)   The ends of the points are very small, but the PETG was up to the challenge.  I haven't tried but from experience I don't recommend PLA silk, as it can be very brittle.  Try it but be very careful.  These are long prints that require some time to slice and download along with requiring patience when removing the supports.  I used a pliers to grip the supports as close as possible to the star (at their thinnest) and twisted to release them from the star.  It takes some effort, but i think you will be happy with either one!

 

Notes: In the picture, the top of the star is white PETG (if you see the color change).  I ran out of translucent PETG after printing it so many times.  They can all be made larger (to fit the H2 beds) but I wouldn't go a lot smaller on plates 2 and 4 as the model will disappear if you get too small.  You would then have to switch to a .2mm nozzle.
