π€ Support free
π€ Print at 0.15 mm layer height or smaller, 15 % infill (gyroid) worked well for me
π€ Test prints all done at 100 % - largest ring has a diameter of ~20 cm
πͺ How to glue them together
Each ring has 2 grooves to add the glue and the next smaller ring has 2 pins that go into these grooves. Use them for proper orientation. Gluing the rings together otherwise won't work due to the distance between the rings. I used "Kraftprotz Sekundenkleber 3D Druck" - Gorilla Glue and similar will likely work perfectly as well
If you want to get the exact orientation as in the pictures proceed as follows:

π Files
Biblical-accurate-angel-treetopper-supportfree-test
Test version for the support-free version you can print first to see if the print works well/fits tight enough. If not use the pre-supported version. The test version can be used as a way to display the angel if it is not used as a treetopper π
Biblical-accurate-angel-treetopper-presupported-test
If you want to be extra sure you can print a test of this version as well before proceeding.
Biblical-accurate-angel-treetopper-supportfree
Use this file if the test print went well and fitted nicely!
Biblical-accurate-angel-treetopper-presupported
Use this file for a tighter fit if there were any issues with the test print! Clip off the supports after printing.
Biblical-accurate-angel-treetopper-ownsupports
Version you can use if you want to set the supports yourself. Clip off the supports after printing.
πͺ Assembly
Fit the biggest ring of the angel in the bigger part of the treetopper. Then attached the smaller part along the guiding structure (see pictures)
It should fit snuggly enough that no glue is needed if it is used to display the angel/put it on top of the tree and will let you remove the angel to display it otherwise in the future.
If you are unsure use super glue to secure it.

The prints seen in the pictures were done using the Prusa MK4S and eSun in Gold.
