first idea was just the icosahedron structure made from modular 3d printed parts on which the paper parts could be sticked.

some paper part added

the connectors of the parts and the parts to hold the led lights

the finished icosahedron construction.

In the second iteration I combined to white and red parts into one

and did a nice trick to be able to printy a stack of modules at once. The parts are printed as a colom but can easily be separated. this graetly reduced print times and a stack of 6 could be printed each night

I also did some tests with rounded 'bulbs' but it was difficult to get constant quality in the prints.

assembling some of the modules

I also changed the leds and used a strand of 12mm diffused leds. Soldering the ws2812 leds myself like I did previously turned out too much work.

the leds are controlled by an arduino an you can shift through the palettes with a knob, or remotly by phone and voice commands
