Description

Add a touch of the moon to your Christmas tree! This ornament features a detailed moon surface lithophane using the NASA CGI kit. It holds an LED tealight candle inside with a screw-on mechanism, shining through the lithophane to give you a realistic moon on your tree (use a finer layer height for finer detail).

You will need to print:

The moon ball
Either one of the cap styles (Type A for a full moon experience, Type B for easy installation and removal.)
A screw cage from the basic tealight ball ornament page https://makerworld.com/en/models/73472#profileId-77924
Optionally a string bead from the basic tealight ball ornament page https://makerworld.com/en/models/73472#profileId-77924

worked good for me there was some spagoot failure on the inside where the orb and hanger meet. see pic. I used the designer's settings and Bambu Labs PLA yellow Glow filament. incredible results on the glow and the detail.

I'd use smaller or variable layers.

@G__W__

Thank you for your interest and suggestions. The uploaded print profile used a 0.24mm layer height for fast printing. I mentioned in the model descriptions that using a finer layer height will result in finer detail. Since the 0.24mm print is detailed enough for me, I didn't upload another print profile as I haven't tested it, and it didn't feel right to post something I haven't tested. The same applies to the cap's profiles. I hope this explains the reasoning behind the decision.
