Modeling a MegaStar for my addressable LED MegaTree for next year.
Planning on buying some translucent filament to 3D print a Polaris Star but it needs to be at least 3ft in total height, which will be on top of a 18ft megatree, which I don't think is possible to do on a Ender 3 Pro. What do you think?I have a non-addressable LED 6ft tree with a 1ft Polaris star. It's time to go big! The star is in two half (front and back)

easy enough.
Redesign the star so the 'pointy bits' (must be an actual technical term) all slot into a middle base.
That way you can easily make a star large enough on an ender 3
You might need to make each 'spike/pointy bit' in two or more parts.
Off the top of my head I can't remember the z height of an ender3.
But size is basically a matter of working out how many parts you need to print something in and how easily you can make them slot together. A composite star would be pretty easy as you just need to design one spike and a hub and just print as many spikes as you need.
Please explain to me how to...
