Here is a design for Christmas Past or Future depending on being late or early.
The smallest branch was not used thereby making room for mounting the star. The design shown worked for clear acrylic with thickness between 0.109 and 0.111 inches (mask removed). The central “trunk” fits into the slot in each branch. For the design shown with stated acrylic thickness, the sloping laser cut edge of the long narrow trunk was sanded at the edges on the bottom side of the trunk. A test branch is provided to use after cutting the trunk to test for fitting before cutting all other parts. You may need to adjust dimensions depending on your material thickness and your machine kerf behavior. In case the svg file below scale is changed in posting, the longest branch should be 3.701 inches.
For order of operations, cut slots before perimeters.
An alternate design used an 90-degree X-shape for each branch resulting in an effective appearance halving of the spiral pitch.
The star with bitmap text had a bitmap gradient at the perimeter. Some Pilot Error of mine has omitted that gradient. Never sure how to operate these computers.
