###Motivation
I have long been on the search for an affordable tree stand that works. I've tried many different kinds and "Santa's Last Stand" was the best one yet... with one exception. It was still flawed by the use of bolts which pierce the trunk either from being tightened too much or just as the tree leans it eventually breaks through.
I tried using quarters but they slipped out, then I tried bottle caps (metal ones) but they were too flimsy and didn't offer enough surface area for support.
###Details
Finally, I figured I would put my 3D printer to use for something productive. In the picture of the pieces on the tree stand you may notice three different models including one that is cracked on the threading. This is because I went through two iterations before coming up with the final product. You'll see from right to left in counter-clockwise fashion, the iterations.
Also, I'll note that the threading may have been overkill because once it gets near the tree the suppor
