Stargate Zero Point Module (ZPM)

I redesigned the layout to cast the main structure as one seamless piece, ensuring that no visible lines appear when illuminated. To do this, I cleverly concealed a switch within the base, allowing it to be turned on and off with ease - simply flip the center red crystal. In addition, I incorporated an interior mounting system for the lights, leaving room in the middle of the light bar for a battery pack. The display base design was also a vital part of this project. My ZPM is now securely mounted to the base and hardwired, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements and minimizing the risk of damage from excessive movement. This stunning piece will proudly sit on my prop shelf, serving as a beautiful conversation starter. Here are the essential supplies I used: * 3D Solutech See-Through Orange PLA (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MB2TW86) * Translucent Red PLA (optional - or paint it for a unique look) * Metallic Acrylic Paint - Crimson (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GJLJB8) * Metallic Acrylic Paint - Pearlescent Emerald (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004BP1KFY) * Ustellar Dimmable 600 LED Light Strip Daylight White (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074N4YVDK) * Latching Type Push Button Switch (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XF6PT9L) * Spring (I repurposed the spring from an old TP roll holder and cut it in half - similar to https://www.amazon.com/Danco-88648-Toilet-Paper-Holder/dp/B00JJXMAI4) Check out my switch demo here: https://youtu.be/O9XEQs2jyn4
