Beautiful Bulgy Five-Point Stars for Decoration

I designed this simple nine-point star with a bulgy shape and soft round corners as a decoration piece. The primary use of this design is as a nice decoration piece to hang on ribbons or glue on the wrap of gift packaging.

To make it versatile, you find four different thicknesses with a slightly different look because of the matching chamfer size. Also, each model comes with a hole and non-hole variant.

How to Print the Star Frames

Print the stars on one of the flat sides. As they are symmetric, the side does not matter. In the file section, you will find a PrusaSlicer example project. Use this as a good base for your settings, or check the table below:

Dimensions

The model file name has this format:

LR2286-Z<thickness>-D<diameter>-H<holes>.3mf

Thickness (Z)

The thickness is a number in millimetres. Therefore 4 stands for 4mm.

Diameter (D)

The diameter of an imaginary circle around the tips. The value is in millimetres. Therefore 040 stands for 40mm.

Holes (H)

The holes value has the following meaning:

• 0 = No holes
• 1 = One single hole

Catalogue PDF

In the file section, you will find a catalogue PDF with a complete overview of all dimensions. This catalogue also contains handy tables where you can easily look up all models based on a single parameter.

Each model in the catalogue is shown with an image, all parameters and the corresponding model file name. So, before you despair of finding the right model, download the catalogue and search for the model's name there.

Photos

The photos of the real prints were printed using an Original Prusa i3 MK3S+, using Prusament Oh my Gold.

About this Design

The design consists only of arcs with no straight lines. This creates a soft and bulgy look at the stars. A small fillet is added at the inner corners to soften these and improve the print.

Conclusion

I hope you decorate many gifts with this simple design. If you found it useful, please rate it and upload photos of how you used it.
