I designed this simple seven-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 can connect more stars or other decorations at each tip using ribbons. I think they’re a great addition to an advent calendar as well, allowing you to create a mobile by hanging 24 small gift boxes from 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 on Printables, you will find stars with six to nine points. Yet, the parametric Fusion360 design allows you to create stars with even more points.
Shape (S)
The shape is the percentage of the inner corner diameter:
55
= 55% Flat spikes45
= 45% Balanced spikes35
= 35% Pointy spikes
Holes (H)
The value for holes is as follows:
0
= No holes1
= One single holea
= One hole at every tip
Thickness (Z)
The thickness is shown in millimeters; for example, 4
stands for 4mm.
Diameter (D)
The diameter of an imaginary circle around the tips is in millimeters. Hence, 300
stands for 300mm.
