This is a 200x200x230 mm hollow Christmas Tree with star. I intend to build a Arduino controlled RGB light matrix to go inside the print but for now I plan to use a small roll of Christmas lights to make the tree glow

How I Designed This
This was designed in Freecad and was a bit tricky of a design:
In sketcher I made a basic outline of a tree that I then revolved.
I made a second body by creating a 2D 8 pointed star that I lofted to a point.
I then overlapped the two solids and did an intersect operation.
I sliced the new solid into five pieces and staggered the pieces to break up the lines.
I then combined the tree slices back together to make a single solid
I started a new body and made a 5 point star by staggering two different sized pentagons and connecting the points then extruding that shape.
I combined the star and the tree and added a final Fillet.
