This striking Christmas ornament transforms a simple sphere into an elegant piece of 3D printed home decor. Featuring 198 precisely-placed holes shaped like five-pointed stars, the design creates a beautiful interplay of light and shadow when hung on your tree. The star cutouts are mathematically-generated hypocycloids that give the ornament a delicate, lace-like appearance.

The geometric precision of this design showcases what's possible with modern 3D print files. Each star-shaped opening is carefully positioned to maintain structural integrity while creating maximum visual impact. The result is a contemporary take on classic holiday ornaments that complements both traditional and modern décor schemes.

We provide two STL versions: one optimized for printers that handle overhangs well, and another with integrated support structures for more reliable printing. The included OpenSCAD file allows tech-savvy users to modify dimensions or hole patterns to suit their preferences.
