8 bit tree topper (Mario star) by krisgolden2007

Last crawled date: 3 years, 3 months ago

This is my design of the original 8 bit Mario star. This prints in 3 parts the back and sides as one print the face and eyes.
If you print all surfaces that are against the build plate will be the visible surfaces. There is a hole in the bottom to run wires for lights and to place on top of your Christmas tree.
When i loaded the model into Prusa slicer i cut the size by 50% and it fits perfectly on my build plate. approx. 8"x8"x1" when complete.
I printed with 7 solid top layers and 5 solid bottom layers so that no infill would show thru when lit up. 15% infill for the sides worked fine.
I printed with PLA (Hatchbox yellow and Ziro translucent yellow) Both came out great!! Translucent yellow is on my Christmas tree this year.
