Who doesn’t like a tree? Especially in NYC? My request to have the DPR (department of parks and recreation), which is responsible for tree-planting in NYC, decide whether they will come out to Brooklyn to investigate whether they will plant a tree into the forlorn tree pit in front of the building, will be taken care of…within two years.
That is some impressive long-term planning.

in 3D Printing Tags: Makerbot, Sketchup, spinning, tree
This is a 3D printed tree that has movable branches. 
I made it in Sketchup of simple geometric shapes, each rectangle just a wee bit smaller than the lower one.
The top part of the tree was actually a bit of challenge to create, as I had to create the triangle shape, but then make a partial hole through one side of it. There are three versions of it in the illustration above.
I exported each piece separately into Makerbot and then printed them one at a time.
Here are some more views of the tree.
