Low Poly Crystal Decoration/Lamp

thingiverse

I crafted these diminutive crystal-like items as miniature decorations, or if you're feeling adventurous, LED-lit lamps. The photographs above were printed on my MP Maker select v2.1 (also known as the Wanhao Duplicator i3 v2.1) using Maker Geeks Maker Series red PLA and Maker Geeks Dragons Metallic Gold PLA. Each model is designed to print in vase mode: I strongly advise printing it in this way for maximum speed, and because the single perimeter of the model will allow light to shine through even if the filament you use is not labeled as translucent. If you decide to print these, make sure to hit the "I made one" button! I'd love to see your prints! I have yet to transform my prints into LED lamps, but I plan to do so soon, and I'll be sharing my process for that project in an upcoming update.
