• Luminous and Glitter Filament: Luminous filament is used for the white parts, producing a beautiful effect when the LEDs are off. Additionally, using glitter filament adds a metallic touch.
• WS2812 LEDs and Controller: The design uses 77 WS2812 LEDs controlled by an Arduino D1 Mini with WLED, allowing for programmable effects. Alternatively, a simple 5V LED strip can be used without effects.

Technical Details:

• WLED Configuration: The LEDs are divided into two segments to differentiate between the outer ring and the lights inside the columns, allowing for independent control of effects. If you are just going to use a simple LED strip, ignore this.
• Assembly and Fitting: All pieces fit together snugly for easy assembly, but you can use cyanoacrylate for added security.
• Printing Options: The design is intended to be printed without supports (except for the electronics box, which requires a few).
