Design Concept

I couldn't find a star that was entirely hollow to top off my Christmas tree. I needed one entirely hollow so I could install lights. This star is printed with 0% infill.

The Hollow Christmas Tree Topper Star is designed with an internal structure that allows light to pass through, creating a beautiful illuminated effect when placed with internal lighting.

The printed Star is half of a hollow shell. Print it twice and glue together to create an entire tree topper. The inside of the shell contains a smaller shell in the shape of star. This can be removed by cutting the base walls and gently separating the two pieces, if you want more light to filter through.

Purpose

This star is a festive decoration meant for the top of Christmas trees. Its hollow design allows users to place a small LED light inside to enhance the star's visibility and charisma during nighttime.

Printing Suggestions

Choose a translucent or glitter-infused filament for optimal lighting effect. Use a layer height of 0.2mm for high quality finish, and 0% infill to create the shell. Print it twice and then glue the two parts together.

Assembly Instructions

Once one shell is printed, you can install small LED lights inside the hollow space, and run them out of the tube hole on the bottom. Secure the star to the top of the tree using the base, ensuring the lights are evenly distributed upwards to highlight the star shape.
