Nozzles!: 3D printed themed lights and bauble decoration

I created these as a joke, but they turned out surprisingly well, so here they are. There are 2 types of nozzle - one with the end closed that I used for the lights to prevent unfiltered light from shining through and one with the open end that I used for the bauble.

All examples were printed on the Elegoo Mars. For the lights, I used translucent resins which I then varnished using clear gloss acrylic to create a glassy appearance. The lights consisted of micro battery-powered LEDs; I recommend printing a sample light shade and testing it with any LEDs you plan to use. The cap was printed in black, but keep in mind that the tolerances are quite tight, so I suggest testing again (you may want to increase the scale on X and Y if issues arise). Lights were fitted using a hot glue gun. The bauble used an opaque filament which I then primed and covered with gold leaf Rub n Buff and sealed with clear gloss acrylic. The jewels are 3mm crystals that should fit snugly into place. There is a cap with a hook on it, designed specifically for the bauble. These models should print well on an FDM printer too, but you may need to adjust the threads.
