Hexmas Trees! (Patreon)

Yes, it's that time of year again when we all celebrate vase mode printing!  Merry vase-mas!  Okay, okay, so here we have a Christmas tree (or a tree for any other festive/non-festive tree-oriented occasion) that is intended to also celebrate the wonder of hexagons!

This stylised tree is made of twisted panels dotted with a hexagonal pattern and all the angles in those little hexagons are set up with angles that are friendly to vase mode printing.  So, the whole thing can be printed nicely in vase mode.  Of course, it can be printed in regular mode with infill, too, if you want more robust trees.

Further Thoughts

Vase mode works well for last minute festive things, which is why the vase mode baubles happened last year!  Or was that the year before?! Time flies :D 

Merry Hexmas!
