I have divided the model into 3 parts so that the sphere can be printed in a different color. I also have made this model so that a tea light fits (scaled at 100%). You could also turn this into a cord lamp if printed larger.

This print will require the use of supports on all parts.

Some of the images show settings in Prusa Slicer.  I do not currently use Bambu but I am sure most of these are in the Bambu Slicer as well. If you are having trouble with this print, please let me know and I can help you troubleshoot.

Suggested Print Settings

Scale: 100% (100% = 97mm tall x 67mm diameter base)

Printing smaller than the 100% scale may result in arms or fingers breaking off with support structures.

BASE (printed upside down)

Infill: ~10% to help minimize warping on the top of the print (bottom of the model).

Brim and Support: support for tail. No brim.

If you encounter warping, try turning off fan for first 10-20 layers. You could use a brim but it will reduce quality of print.
 

TOP

Infill: ≥15% to insure top looks good and arms are strong.

Brim and Support: Support only, no brim.
You will need either auto supports or paint-on supports. 
I recommend using Line/grid type (organic/tree types not the best for undersides).

If you use paint-on supports you need to support the underside of the arms and under the head.
 

SPHERE

!!Make sure that the seam for the sphere is on the center backside!! Not the edge where it transitions to the flat part but the back flat side, centered.

Otherwise the ridge created by the seam makes it difficult to rotate into position. Alternatively you can always sand the ridge down or pare it off with a knife if its a problem.
 

Infill: 0-5% unless you want it more opaque. I printed mine in regular blue PLA and it was transparent enough.

Brim and Support: Both.


 

*IF YOU USE TRICOLOR OR DUAL COLOR FILAMENT FOR THE TOP AND BOTTOM, PRINT THEM TOGETHER AND ROTATE THE BASE SO THAT THE COLORS WILL ALIGN.  See the image of where to put supports that also shows where to place both pieces together on one plate so that the coloring will match.

 

How to assemble:

1.You will notice that the sphere model is not perfectly round. This is to make it able to fit where it needs to without further dividing the model up. See the photo that explains how to get the sphere into the top part. There is a trick to it. If it will not rotate, try sanding off the seam (print the sphere with the seam on the center of the back flat part).

2.After the sphere is positioned, then glue the top part to the base. Use the tail parts to help align and view the front to make sure its evenly placed. I used E600 glue and it works great.

3.A tea-light can be placed under the base or glued into place. 
The flickering type tealights are not bright enough. I used a color-changing one I had that looked much better.
