The Celestial Sphere - 200 Brightest Stars - Star Projector
thingiverse
Print out the Celestial Sphere with small pentagonal holes for each star and turn it into a DIY star projector by placing a bright LED in its South Pole hole. With OpenSCAD files, you can customize your 3D printed Celestial Sphere and include up to 500 stars from the Stars.scad file, showcasing their Cartesian and Polar coordinates. The 01CelestialSpherePolar.scad file provides the blueprint for the sphere with a South Pole hole designed for the LED. If you're interested in exploring further, a Mathematica notebook named CelestialSphere.nb is available, which contains the star almanac data from Wolfram Alpha and guides you on how to format it for use in OpenSCAD. As future improvements, consider connecting the stars to display constellations by drawing geodesic arcs or creating a simplified sphere with only the Zodiac constellations.
With this file you will be able to print The Celestial Sphere - 200 Brightest Stars - Star Projector with your 3D printer.
