Winterweave - LED Tree Light with Diffuser

Winterweave is a modern, open-weave tree light designed to add a warm glow to holiday decorations or winter decor. Its twisting strands create a unique silhouette, while the optional inner diffuser softens the lighting for a more even, illuminated appearance.

The design consists of two separate pieces: the outer tree and a removable diffuser. Display the tree on its own for a minimalist look, or add the diffuser for a fuller lighting effect.

Lighting Options

LED Fairy Lights: Place a small strand of fairy lights inside the diffuser or tree. Fairy lights are shown in the example photos.

Corded LED Lighting: Both the tree and diffuser feature a notch at the base to accommodate a power cord.

LED Tealight Candle: A battery-operated LED tealight can also be placed inside for a simple, cordless lighting option.

The diffuser is optional but recommended for the best glow effect. Printing it in translucent or transparent filament allows light to pass through while softening the appearance of individual LEDs.

Use LED lighting only. Do not use real candles or open flames.

Optional Tree Topper

The top of Winterweave features an intentionally curved opening designed to accommodate a small ornament ball as an optional tree topper. Add a decorative ornament for a more festive appearance, or leave the top as-is for a clean, minimalist look.

Printing Recommendations

Outer Tree

- The included 3MF print profile uses painted supports.

- Although the slicer may indicate that supports are unnecessary, painted supports were used during testing as a precaution.

- The supports removed cleanly from the tested print.

- Due to the slender, twisting strands, I recommend using the provided support settings for reliable results.

- Carefully remove supports to avoid damaging the strands.

Inner Diffuser

- Prints without supports.

- Translucent or transparent filament is recommended.

- Printed separately from the outer tree.

- Fits inside the tree and can be removed when desired.

Assembly

Print the outer tree and optional diffuser.

Carefully remove any supports and clean up the print.

Place your preferred LED lighting inside the diffuser or tree.

Align the cord with the notch at the base if using corded lights.

Position the diffuser inside the outer tree.

Add a small ornament ball to the top if desired.

No glue or permanent assembly is required.
