This is a breathtaking portrayal of the constellation Canis Major, meticulously crafted to be a striking wall or ceiling fixture. As the lights shine brightly, you'll witness the unmistakable silhouette of Canis Major, its majestic presence impossible to miss. But when darkness falls and the lights go out, magic unfolds as all you're left with is the twinkling canvas of stars. This captivating artwork was created using a single extruder, a testament to the ingenuity of modern printing techniques. The key to its enchanting effect lies in the way the star layers subtly rise above the silhouette, allowing for a seamless transition between two distinct worlds: one of light and darkness. To achieve this breathtaking visual shift, pause the print at the star layers and swap out the regular filament for glow-in-the-dark material, allowing the constellation to shine like a celestial map against the inky blackness of night.
