Description

PDF

A treehouse nestled in two trees. Is it a child's current favorite getaway, or a long forgotten memory. Either is possible by controlling how much support is created.

Printing:

Enable organic supports to build the trees and branches reach out to floating leaves. Project file and screenshot included with my support settings, but experiment with the settings to to see what you can create.

Painting on support blockers on the doors, windows, deck and roof can prevents tree overgrowth from overtaking the treehouse giving a more ‘actively used’ look. Without the blockers the trees can appear to be in the process of reclaiming an abandoned treehouse back to nature.

Updates: 

v2 now includes a rock on the base to add better stability and surface area touching the bed. The rock is from Fernando Jerez's Rock Formation Generator found here: https://www.printables.com/model/390926

Added a Cura project file that attempts to somewhat match the PrusaSlicer version of trees. I haven't gotten a match yet, but perhaps someone better versed in Cura can tweak things further.
