This design is also available on cults3D: [Multipoint Star](https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/multipoint-3d-star-mmone)
This is a 26 point star. The points clip together without glue. As the star is completely hollow it can be easily illuminated. For a complete star you need to print 18 of the long tips and 8 of the short ones. The STLs in the download are sized to produce a ca. 20cm diameter star.
Assembly is nothing for the impatient, as you close up the star it gets harder to clip together the pieces. What helps is a pair of angled tweezers/pliers. Also, if you clip/unclip each interface once before, it goes together more easily the second time.
The assembly starts with a ring of four of the long tips. Then add a half sphere to one side by alternating between short and long tips. This pattern then gets mirrored to the opposite side. Check the pictures for some hints.
Printing

The STLs in the download are solid and should be printed in "Vase Mode".
