Thanks to the original designers.

Note that three Falcon Heavy lamp models printed at 220% scale will fit perfectly on top of a base printed at normal scale, making it a nice size for a night lamp. The base fits an LED strip, Arduino NANO board, and two holes in the center to run USB power to the NANO. It also features a rocker switch hole at the back that can be fed into where the NANO is located. The rocker can simply be inserted between the LED signal wire. Additionally, I found that the NANO with USB is more than sufficient to power the LED strip, making this an easy and great build. Rocker: 12mm x 8mm Insert: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00TXNXGWE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Arduino NANO: MakerHawk Nano V3.0, a Nano board with CH340G Chip/ATmega328P 5V 16MHz and USB Cable, compatible with Arduino Nano V3.0 for use with Arduino. 24 Bits WS2812 5050 RGB LED Ring Lamp Light with Integrated Drivers: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DKJ6SFR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The exact components I used for this build are listed above. Thanks to the original creators and remixes of this, my 2.5-year-old son who is obsessed with Falcon Heavy will be one happy boy on Christmas. Arduino NANO Tips: Power all by USB. Check the code for PIN NUMBER to connect the LED strip - connect it to 5v on the NANO and Ground. Insert the rocker between the LED signal wire to turn on or off, leaving the NANO powered so another option will be needed. Code, Library Use FASTLED: I've included my custom code of one of the FASTLED library sample codes, which I updated with new lights and slowed them down for a soothing effect that gives off what I think is a great effect. PLA: I noticed many people using transparent filament for exhaust, but I ended up trying white filament for the rocket. Since the plume is hollowed out, it looked awesome white in my opinion. Supports: I used 85% threshold on all prints with Cura.
