Lattice Glow Ornaments – Teardrop Edition

GeckoGrid is now in pre-launch on MakerWorld Crowdfunding.
Follow the campaign to support the launch, get notified when it goes live, and stay updated as new features and stretch goals are revealed.

⚠️ Important – Please Read Before Printing

• PRINT AT 0.16 mm LAYER HEIGHT ONLY
This model is designed specifically for 0.16 mm layer height.
Printing at a different layer height may cause the fine geometry to fail.

• DO NOT ENABLE SUPPORTS
No supports are required or wanted.
If your slicer suggests supports, disable them manually.

• DRY FILAMENT REQUIRED
Because of the fine lattice details, dry filament is strongly recommended.
Moist filament may cause stringing, weak bridges, or failed sections — especially with translucent materials.

Geometric LED Ornament Globe

Battery-Powered | Dual LED Compatibility

These geometric ornament globes were designed as simple, durable decorations that look good both lit and unlit. They use small battery-powered LEDs and are solid enough to survive being dropped without shattering — no fragile, paper-thin walls here.

The pattern is designed to print cleanly without supports at the correct layer height, while still letting light pass through beautifully.

🔦 LED Compatibility (Two Options)

This updated version supports two different LED sizes, both using press-fit caps:

Option 1 – Standard Mini LED

Compatible with LEDs like:
LIHAO / similar mini battery LEDs (larger style)

Option 2 – Smaller Mini LED

Compatible with smaller LEDs like:

Both options are fully supported in the files.

📦 What’s Included (3 Plates Total)

Plate 1 – Main Body

• The geometric globe itself

Plate 2 – Large LED Cap

• Press-fit cap for the larger mini LEDs

Plate 3 – Small LED Cap + Push-Out Tool

• Press-fit cap for the smaller LEDs
• Matching push-out clip to safely remove the LED from the cap

The push-out clips are optional, but make removing the LED much easier without damaging the print.

🎄 Hanging & Display

• Each cap includes a loop for string or ribbon
• Can be used as:
  • Hanging ornaments
  • Shelf decorations
  • Table pieces
  • Window accents

🧵 Filament Recommendations

• Best for light diffusion:
  White or translucent PLA
• More decorative when unlit:
  Silk or darker filaments (still lights up, just less bright)

Because of the fine geometry, wet filament can cause print failures, especially with translucent materials.

🖨 Print Settings

• Layer height: 0.12 mm
• Supports: OFF
• Brim: Optional (easy to remove)
• Material: PLA recommended

If you want, I can next:

• Write a shorter “Quick Notes” version for the top of MakerWorld
• Create a separate print profile block formatted exactly like your other uploads
• Match the tone to your bookmark / lamp descriptions so everything stays consistent across your page
