Decorative Dali-style advent starlight

thingiverse

I made this star-shaped lamp as an old decorative star broke after 30 years or so. The construction is as simple as possible, the star held together with two rings printed in semiflex. An adapter in flex makes fitting the lampholder (around 26mm in diameter) an easy task. Please be aware only to use low effect LED lamps to avoid overheating. Do use a lamp that spreads the light in all directions, not "old" LEDs. You can print the star in a single color; using two colors gives an additional touch though. I used two CPE-HG100 colors for the star: "Red Hood Transparent" for the outer part (mmu channel 1 in the .3mf file) and "Morning Sun transparent" for the central area (mmu channel 2). This combination gives full advantage of the built-in shading effect built into the object. Using "Black Soul" for the central area gives a very cool shading effect - more for a party than for a christmas decoration though.
