Introduction: Christmas Tree Light!
I wanted to make something in the holiday spirit that I could give to my family and friends! This project is easy to make and only costs about 8$ in total, including the filament. I hope you have fun making this and leave a comment if you have suggestions for improvement!
Supplies
For this project youre going to need the following:
- 3d printer
- Green, Gold/Bronze and Black filament
- E27 Bulb socket
- E27 Light bulb
Step 1: 3D Print the Parts
The first step is to print the parts! You need:
- 1x Christmas tree
- 1x Base
- 2x Star
The base and the star you can print pretty straightforwardly without any special settings. For the Christmas tree however, you need to print in "Spiralize" also known as "Vase mode". Add a 5mm brim for better adhesion as well.
Step 2: Preparing the Base
The base hole diameter is exactly 26.40mm and is made so that you can simply screw the bulb socket into place until it is firmly seated. There is a small square slit for the cable, place the cable in the slot.
Step 3: Screw in the Light Bulb
Step 4: Place the Tree on the Base
Step 5: Mount the Star
Step 6: And You’re Done!
Enjoy your homemade Christmas decoration! I hope you enjoyed this instructable, and have fun making your own! Thanks to Brithawkes for the tree model!
