The Over-Engineered Christmas Tree Stand

I’ve always liked the aesthetic of classic three-legged tree stands, but I found that commercially available options usually lack adjustability. They work fine if your tree is perfectly straight, but if the bottom of the trunk is tilted—as they often are—it can be a struggle to get the tree vertical. Usually, the only way to fix this with a standard stand is to shove ugly wedges or folded cardboard under the legs. I wanted a cleaner solution. I modeled this stand to solve that specific problem. The design allows you to compensate for the tilt by adjusting the angle of each leg individually. Technical Details: Trunk Diameter: The Central Hub is designed to hold a tree trunk with a diameter of 60mm. (Note: In the Czech Republic, most Christmas tree sellers offer trunk shaving to this "standard" diameter). Weight Limit: Please note that this stand is an assembly of plastic parts. Do not overload it. I have successfully used it at home with a tree weighing approx. 12 kg (about 140cm / 5ft in height), and it is stable. However, use common sense—this is not suitable for massive trees. Print Settings (How I Printed it out) Material: PETG Perimeters (Walls): 6 perimeters (based on a 0.4mm nozzle).
