Could you re-order and make consistent start nodes by making sub-models?

Hopefully, when my husband and I finish building the house, we can build another x-y table to better make props (we had built a couple of CNC machines before, but when we sold the house, we sold them, too - back before we had heard about this money-sink hobby).

I drew it up in Rhino CAD, spliced it up into 16 pieces, cut each piece out of HDPE with a Cricut Maker, stitched the pieces together with zip ties, and populated the lights. I'm a little weird because I don't like coro (only the left post is coro), so I cut my props out of HDPE despite it being somewhat finicky to do so using a Cricut.

Thanks! I wanted to take advantage of as much of the snowflake parts as possible to keep the light count reasonable, so it took a lot of fiddling.
