Large Six-Point Star Frames

Large Six-Point Star Frames

I designed this simple six-point star frame as an ornament with various uses: The variants with one hole can be used to hang them as decoration, but there are also variants with no holes if you like to glue or tape them to a surface. The models with a hole at each tip are meant to be used to build a mobile, where you connect more stars or other decorations at each tip using ribbons.

Also, a great use is as part of an advent calendar, where you create a mobile hanging 24 small gift boxes to the tips of various stars.

Dimensions

The model file name has this format:

LR2278-<point count>-S<shape>-H<holes>-Z<thickness>-D<diameter>.3mf

Point Count

The first number after the project number indicates how many points the star has. Here you will find stars with six to nine points. Yet, the parametric Fusion360 design lets you create stars with even more points.

Shape (S)

The shape is the percentage of the inner corner diameter:

  • 55 = 55% Flat spikes
  • 45 = 45% Balanced spikes
  • 35 = 35% Pointy spikes

Holes (H)

The holes value has the following meaning:

  • 0 = No holes
  • 1 = One single hole
  • a = One hole at every tip.

Thickness (Z)

The thickness is expressed in millimeters. Therefore, 4 stands for 4mm.

Diameter (D)

The diameter of an imaginary circle around the tips, given in millimeters. Therefore, 300 stands for 300mm.
