The Minimal Tree That Fired the Pinecones

Here’s the Christmas tree that decided to act fancy: no prickly needles, no sticky resin, just clean lines and sculpted decorations. Standing 15 cm tall, shaped like a holiday trophy, it’s the kind of tree that doesn’t shed needles on your carpet but earns style points instead. The white version, sprayed with a touch of silver and gold, looks like it came straight out of a Scandinavian design magazine. The colored version, on the other hand, screams “I’m the star of the living room, make space.” In short, this is a tree that doesn’t just say “Merry Christmas.” It stares at you and adds, “and stop buying real ones that die after two weeks.” Christmas is the season of kindness… or at least that’s what the cookie commercials say. So, to avoid looking like a Grinch with a 3D printer, I’ve prepared pre‑colored 3MF files for you. But I still swear by acrylic paints: more artisanal, more satisfying, and—bonus—no mountains of plastic poops. Still, if you’re on Team ‘multicolor without a brush,’ here you go: files ready to go. Don’t say I never spoil you. 📐 Printing specs Model height: 15 cm Printing technology: FDM Material: PLA Line thickness: 0.16 mm PLA used: ~570 g Printing time: ~30 h Finish: smooth surfaces with embossed decorations Extra tips: 10% infill, supports for the star and ornaments, light brim (don’t be lazy: remove it carefully). 🎨 Painting techniques To match the look in the photo: Elegant white version: matte white base, light sprays of silver and gold acrylic spray for a sparkling yet refined effect.
