From the project
A circuit board Christmas ornament, shaped like a tree, designed with KiCad.
This repository contains the [KiCad][1] and [Gerber][2] files for a PCB Christmas ornament shaped like a Christmas tree.
The little tree has candy canes on the silkscreen, ornaments made out of exposed copper, and a trunk made out of exposed FR4. The garland is made out of resistors, and the lights are LEDs, powered by a micro USB connector on the back.
You can hang the ornament on your tree by putting a string through the hole at the top of the ornament. Or, you can use it as a standalone decoration, in which case the USB cable in the back acts as a sort of "kickstand" to hold the tree up.
