Humans craft an icosahedron filled with a string of WS2811 LEDs. These LEDs are a common sight on YouTube, specifically the 12mm WS2811 RGB Digital Pixel IP68 Waterproof variety. The holes on this design allow for easy insertion from the back side, eliminating the need for glue. The top portion is printed upside down, with supports in place to ensure stability at angles greater than 70 degrees. This minimizes the number of supports needed, focusing them solely on the surface where the LEDs are mounted. Tetrahedron-shaped covers for the LEDs can be easily printed using a vase mode setup. Clear or translucent PLA is used to maximize light transmission from the LEDs into the room. However, regular colored PLA also works well for the LED covers, as the thin walls of the tetrahedral design allow some shine through.
