Make sure, you have a good quality PLA filament with good layer addhesion. Otherwise the parts may be to brittle. Also don't use PETG as it is to soft to make a good clip connection. You may want to choose "random" for the seam position to get an ice-like effect.</p><p><strong>Slicer settings:</strong><br>Rafts: No<br>Supports: No<br>Resolution: 0,2<br>Infill: 15%<br>Filament: PLA</p><p><strong>Printed parts:</strong><br>17x star_square.stl<br>8x star_triangle.stl<br>1x star_square_socket.stl</p><p><strong>Other parts:</strong><br>E14 Socket (e.g. <a href="https://www.ikea.com/de/de/p/strala-lampenaufhaengung-weiss-rot-60440906/">IKEA Strala</a>)<br>E14 LED bulb</p><p><strong>Do not use an incandescent bulb.</strong></p>
