Whatchamacallit Ornament Suncatcher

###Not to be Sold
**I'm sharing my files so that you can make them for yourselves or give them away as gifts. I hope you enjoy them. I do not authorize sale of my work by anyone. Please don't ask me.**

###What is it?
This is part of a series of designs that were originally intended as Christmas tree ornaments and I later found also made great suncatchers for any time of year (when printed with transparent filament/resin). This is the first in the series to be published.

Beyond that, what is it? Well, it's kind of a snowflake pattern (5 points instead of 6), kind of a swirl, and looks a little like an octopus, only with five legs. A pentapus? Anyway, other than that, it's just a cool geometric design that I enjoy looking at.

###How to Hang it
I've included two small, well hidden loops behind one of the arms so you can tie coat thread on them and hang it up. See the detail photo included above. They are really small and very well hidden.

###Print Time
Depending on the wall thickness, these printed in 2-3 hours for me.

###Print Settings
*Thickness*
If you want to use these as Christmas ornaments, I recommend trying to print these with 1 line (0.4mm) walls. I had good luck with that in the Hatchbox Transparent Red, but I needed to make the walls with 2 lines (0.8mm) to get a good print from the TTYT3D Silky Red. I set the top/bottom thickness to 0.3mm.

You probably have your printer set up to print 1.2mm walls and top/bottom thickness. Don't use those settings for this design unless you plan to use it as a paperweight. If you forget to change them, cancel the print and start over.

*Flow*
I increased the flow to 110% for the outer walls and 105% for the inner.

*Infill*
This doesn't need any infill. Seriously. Don't add it unless you want to use this as a paperweight.

*Speed*
I print the first layer at 18mm/second. That makes sure that the complicated design gets good bed adhesion without a raft or brim. It also adds less time to the print and less clean-up than using a raft or a brim. If you have a cold bed, you might need the raft or brim anyway.

For all other layers, I use:
* 30mm/second outer wall speed
* 40mm/second inner wall speed
* 60mm/second overall speed

Spiral Tree Topper

Small trees need love, too! this topper is just under 200mm tall and weighs under 25 grams. I was able to print it in just 4.5 hours.

It requires no infill and no supports.

I designed it so I could print it in one piece on my printer (Anycubic Mega S). After adding a raft, it comes in at just 4.6mm shorter than the theoretical maximum of my printer. 

This is based on my Spiral topper, but it's been recreated from scratch with no boolean operations. I wanted to create a cleaner mesh. 20 hours later, I had a design ready to test. It printed beautifully the first time.

**Print Settings**
* Layer Thickness: 0.15mm
* Walls: 0.4mm (1 line)
* Top/Bottom: 0.45mm (3 layers)
* Infill: None
* Supports: None
* Raft: Yes
* Print Speed: 60mm/sec
* Outer Wall Speed: 30mm/sec
* Travel Speed: 80mm/sec

I used a raft with an 8mm margin (default in Cura is 5mm) to get good adhesion. Without a raft, the base makes very little contact with the buildplate. The raft worked perfectly. The ornament was locked in place without any wobble for the entire print, but when I went to take it off, it required no effort to remove the raft from the buildplate or from the ornament.

In theory, you can probably print it in vase mode, but when I sliced it that way in Cura, it didn't slice right. So, I printed it normally.
