About Customizable Christmas Tree Family Names
This MakerWorld customizer by migueljeronimoa arranges a list of names or short words into a stacked, tree-shaped decoration with an optional year at the bottom. It has been customised more than 26,000 times and has over 3,000 likes, which makes it one of the most popular personalised Christmas designs on the platform.
You type the names separated by an asterisk, and the script scales and arranges each line automatically. Settings cover font size, line thickness and shape, and the parts can be printed in several colours. The author explains how to split the model into objects in Bambu Studio to avoid colour bleeding in the infill.
It makes a thoughtful family, classroom or team gift and also works with inspirational words instead of names. A MakerWorld account is needed to customize and download, and multi-colour printing gives the nicest result.
