Added a base for c9 sized addressable LED bulbs in each of the "large" (square) points.

I loved the Illuminated Christmas Star created by Patrick, but I wanted to add it to my holiday light show.   Rather than have a brim that required removal, I added a base to each of the large points ("square" parts) that would allow for a C9 sized LED bulb to be inserted.    

I used a string of 18 C9 bulbs, 17 in the normal “square” parts, and the 18th just floats in the center.

Print 17 of these and combine with the eight “triangle” and one “socket” parts from Patrick's model.

Use care when inserting the bulbs.  The filament I used (PLA) had enough flex but I could see this being problematic if your filament is brittle.  I strongly suggest you print one to test with your own lights before committing to a whole bed of these.
