About this 3D model

I found the fantastic Laser cut tree in a round frame by mistercrunch (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:359145) and wanted to make a 3D printed version as a Christmas gift. Using the original file, a lot of small branches didn't print properly or fell off when removing from the print bed - the bottom curls were absolutely impossible for me to print well. So I set out to make a 3D print-friendly version of the tree. This essentially meant manually redrawing every single branch and twig thicker and changing a number of details to be printable. I also spent a lot of time to make every curve smoother and feel more organic.
