Deathstar LED Ornament remix

thingiverse

This is a remixed version of Plainolddave's ornament. The excessive solidity of the original made them too time-consuming to print several. So this is a cut-up version designed to greatly reduce print times. (Version 2.3 saves a couple hours for me.) The poles are brought inside the upper and lower hemispheres for printing, eliminating all that fill and support material. Use Thingview to look inside. The upper pole is offset for support material at the bottom of the dish if your slicer needs it. Also redesigned the trench to self-center and integrate an LED holder. The trench is intended to be printed in transparent plastic. This version is created to minimize print time, so in exchange for that, it is designed to super glue together. I may re-roll it for pins though depending on how the test print does and fits. There are also some tiny bits of weirdness from the original model solids that I did not change (internal surfaces that shouldn't be there.) but I'm in a bit of a rush so did not try to fix those at all at this time. 12/12 Update: V2.3 fixes DISH problems when slicing, drops poly count quite a bit. The solid is much better than when I first started. Test print of the trench might get redone as it was hard to clean up (1mm detail with supports). Not fully test printed yet, at your own risk.
