Wahoo! Its-a 3D Printed Super Mario Bros Super Christmas Tree Topper!
One of the cool things for me about the holidays is getting to spend time with things from my childhood memories, such as my childhood Christmas tree. One issue that this tree has had forever has been the difficulty in getting a proper Christmas angel or star on the top, due to the diameter of the main trunk and top of the tree. Well, my wife suggested that I 3D print a Super Mario Star for the top of the tree, so I got to work and started designing in Tinkercad. The finished result is what you see here, a 4-star Super Mario Christmas Tree Topper. Let's take a closer look at how I 3D Printed a Super Mario Bros Super Christmas Tree Topper!
I started out with just a single star and extrapolated from there. I knew I wanted 4 stars, that way there would be enough support not only while on the tree but while stored as well. I designed it so that the 2 side star's arms keyed into the front and back stars during the print, so basically, it would be one unit when complete. I also designed it to print it on my Bambu Labs P1S and have the eyes black like they should be, compared to printing all in yellow and painting them after the fact.
I sliced the file with a 20% infill in Bambu Studio, using Inland PLA+. The overall print is a bit heavier than I expected and, where each star is about 5mm thick at this point, I may make a 2nd variant where the stars are about half as thick. That will reduce weight, reduce filament used, and reduce print time. But for a first attempt, I am thrilled with how great this looks and turned out.
Let me know is this something you've thought about doing before? Have you incorporated video games into your Christmas tree or other decorations? Share your thoughts in the comments!
