“I had a little trouble getting the tree out of the frame. I finally had to cut it out and clean up the rough edges. A jewelers saw would probably leave less damage.
Other than that, it's beautiful! I recommend a bit of hot glue along the plug connections (after assembly) to make it more sturdy. It's less permanent than solder. If you should need to take it apart, a couple drops of Isopropyl alcohol on the hot glue will break the bond.”
“It was easy to assemble and even easier to program! I took the example code that came with the tree and built an advent calendar for my wife. The lights have all been coming on as expected. It is a great little tree!”
“The 3D Xmas tree is a great way to learn soldering. Different components, angles and a wonderful challenge. And great satisfaction when it lights up the first time. Try it with different coloured lights.”
