In my family we have a tradition of making Christmas tree decorations with our own hands. In the past it was mostly made of epoxy resin. This year I decided to make a mold that is simply unrealistic to cast or make in any other way. The model had a lot of variations both at the design and printing stage. I've always been attracted to floral artwork, and this work is no exception. In general, this is a poppy flower. In our culture, this flower is very widely used and filled with symbolic meaning, which we all see now in Ukraine during this terrible war. I tweaked the pattern a bit to my feeling and made it repeat 12 times, giving a link to the year-round cycle. So the whole construction is only strong in its whole variant where each beam supports the other. 

Printing parameters: Creality Print, Ender 3, Creality CR-PLA Filament 1.75 mm, 1 kg (Transparent) 30% Infill (Grid), Wall thickness 1.2mm (3 contours), Nozzle Temp 200.
