Take your SETI board game sessions to the next level with this advanced, interactive LED Sun. Building on the original light-up sun concept, this redesigned model introduces several functional and aesthetic upgrades for tabletop space explorers.
Key Features:
Accessible LED Control: Designed with a smart cutout that allows you to easily reach the twist-switch and turn the LED light on and off without taking the model apart.
Snap-Fit Assembly: Precision-engineered to snap together securely. No glue or tedious post-processing required!
Clever Star Diffusion: The top of the dome features strategically placed 0.2mm micro-holes. These tiny gaps force the slicer to generate internal walls around them, creating a stunning, natural starburst diffusion effect when illuminated from within.
Hardware Required: To light up the sun, you will need to purchase a specific type of twist-on mini LED.
Search Term: Look for items often listed as "10 pcs Miniature Led Lights Muti-Color Changing Tiny Light for Hand Craft or DIY Dollhouse Balloons Party Decoration". (Warm white or yellow colors look great for the sun, but multi-color works too!).
Dimensions: Ensure the LEDs you buy are 0.39 inches (approx. 10mm) in diameter and 0.59 inches (approx. 15mm) in height so they fit perfectly into the designed slot.
Recommended Print Settings:
Material: Transparent PETG (Highly recommended for the best light diffusion, though transparent PLA can be explored as a backup).
Layer Height: 0.32mm (Crucial for optimal light transmission and getting the correct slicer behavior around the micro-holes).
Printing Note: Dialing in a solid transparent PETG profile on the Creality K2 Plus will make quick work of that smooth top dome curve while keeping the thick layer lines clean for maximum light refraction.
