Have you already decorated your DIY non-specific winter Holiday tree?  If not, I humbly submit for your approval not one but TWO complete winter solstice holiday tree topping solutions!

Firstly, cheerioboy has crafted a very traditional (and very beautiful) 5-pointed star of the type commonly found…well, atop trees inside people’s homes at this time in the winter.  While the above image is a mockup (he unfortunately does not yet have a 3d printer) it certainly would look very nice printed in PLA with a light source inside!

Nextly, Weldingrod1 boldly offers a star format with more than 5 total points!  This design, while breaking from tradition, exploits the multi-dimensionality of the medium.  Brilliant! (Get it?)

So once you’re hone hewing the celebratory bough with your DIY chainsaw, fire up your MakerBot and top it off!

Holiday Star / tree topper by cheerioboy

I bought my first Christmas tree this year, so to celebrate I designed a digital star topper to go on top. Unfortunately I don't have a printer to make him :(. But I bet it would look great if it was printed with a translucent material so a light could shine from within! Let me know how I might improve on this and make it easier to print.
