Moon Lamp with concrete/printed base

This is a moon lamp I made. The moon STL is too large to upload to Pinshape, but you can download it here: http://www.mrclaasen.com/download/moon_depth_0.35_bool_5_hole_2.7.stl.zip I also have a smaller moon available for download at https://www.mrclaasen.com/download/moon1000_depth_0.2_radius_3.0_base_3.44.stl.zip You can use the base I've provided along with this mold to create the concrete-filled base you see in the pictures. This also makes the base a bit more substantial than if it was just printed. I added some rubber feet to the base, and it sits nicely without sliding around. The best results are achieved with a well-sanded mold and base. I then stained the base and used acrylic sealer to coat the base before placing it into the mold, securing it with a bolt, and filling the empty space with concrete. After that, I removed the base from the mold before the concrete was completely solid so I could easily sand away any concrete that got in places it shouldn't (on the legs for example) and flatten the bottom. Finally, I let it fully harden, polished it, then sanded it one last time so it wasn't overly glossy.
