I designed this simple eight-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. Another excellent 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. You will find stars with six to nine points. My parametric Fusion360 design allows creating stars with even more points.
Shape (S)
The shape reflects the percentage of the inner corner diameter:
55= 55% Flat spikes45= 45% Balanced spikes35= 35% Pointy spikes
Holes (H)
The holes value conveys this meaning:
0= No holes1= One single holea= One hole at every tip
Thickness (Z)
The thickness is specified in millimetres, e.g., 4 stands for 4mm.
Diameter (D)
The diameter describes an imaginary circle around the tips in millimetres, e.g., 300 stands for 300mm.
