Christmas Star for Hanging (Configurable)

Bring Christmas magic to your tree or window!

This parametric Christmas star is the ideal project for the Advent season: not only does it look great, but it's also super quick to print and easy to assemble.

The best part? You don't need any glue! Thanks to the clever interlocking system, the parts hold together perfectly.

• ⚡ Super Fast: A complete set (both parts) is printed in approx. 28 minutes (Standard PLA settings).
• 🧩 Clever Interlocking System: The star consists of two parts that are simply slid into each other. The 90° rotation creates a great 3D effect.
• 🛠️ Fully Configurable: Decide for yourself how your star looks – from the number of points to its size. Make it unique!
• 🚫 No Support Needed: The model is designed to lie flat on the print bed. Just print, remove, done.

Settings for Individual Stars

1. Basic Settings (Variant) For the star to be 3D, you need two parts that fit together:

• Part 1 (Main Star): Select this to print the side with the hanging loop. (Slot is in the valley).
• Part 2 (Counterpart): Select this for the second side without a loop. (Slot is at the tip).
• Tip: Print both parts with the same geometry settings!

2. Geometry & Size

• Number_of_Points: Whether a classic 5-point star or a star with 20 rays – you decide!
• Outer- & Inner_Radius: Determine how pointed or rounded your star should be.
• Material_Thickness: How thick should the star be? (Standard: 1mm is often completely sufficient and saves material).

3. Fit (Tolerance)

• Tolerance: Determines how tight the slot sits.
  • 0.1 mm: Very tight (holds super firmly, for well-calibrated printers).
  • 0.2 mm: A bit looser (good if you want to paint the star or if assembly should be very easy).
