This is my second attempt printing this Star, I did it last year with my DIY printer with .5 nozzle, had issues with thin wall. This year, I now have a FlashForge Creator Pro with .4 nozzle and wanted to try it again. But before I printed, I imported parts in my CAD to check it out and found some issues and spent a lot of time redrawing & making improvements.
One is I added a thin ribbon at bottom of the 'Point' parts to help hold the part to printer table without rafts.
The holder has hole for wires to pass through and a 5mm hole to install a fiberglass rod commonly found to hold Orchid plants upright. I find it easier to clamp the long rod in the tree down lower.

So its looking real good with the exception of banding appearance, which I improvise by paint it with clear and sprinkle glitter on it.
