Light Up Ornaments (Batman & Gears of War)

Please watch this video for more information and to see them in action: A few days ago, I had the idea of creating these ornaments, which I thought would be fun to make. These are round ornaments that light up and one has the Batman logo on it, while the other features Gears of War. You can light them with any color and there are a couple different ways to do this. The video explains more about these features and shows them lighting up. I've included several options for the bottom part of each ornament. There is a normal bottom that is just round with no features. Then, there's the "string-light-bottom" option, which has a hole in it that allows a string light to be inserted and will light up the clear PLA. The other option is called "switch-bottom," which is designed if you want to put an LED in it and have half of it able to be turned off to preserve the battery. With this setup, you can just use a coin cell battery and attach them (a resistor is recommended but not necessary). A little soldering is necessary if you choose to use the switch. These ornaments were printed using black PLA and clear PLA, which are available on Amazon. They should just snap together and can be hung using string or some ornament hooks that you can find at most major retail stores. Let me know what you think of these ornaments and if you have any ideas for other designs to be put on them.
