Star Trek Enterprise Wall Plaque Lamp

I actually meant to create this one. I started out with a test print of the Enterprise in a smaller size before I maxed out my print bed, and then I couldn't resist using it. I decided to stick it to a mirror, which turned into a great idea when I put lights on the back for a halo effect that transformed into stars. Then I needed a way to hang it and conceal the battery pack, so here we are. I used a candle plate and an LED light string from Hobby Lobby, taking pictures of both so you can easily grab your own. I attached the ship to the glass with permanent double-sided tape in case I want to paint it later, regular clear tape to secure the lights to the back, and wire to hang it on the wall. The mirror and battery pack simply slide into place. The lights illuminate my small office much better than I expected, similar to the low end of a dimmer switch. The ship is Coophead's creation on Thingiverse, but you can use any model you prefer.
