Summary

In preparation for August 21'st Total Solar Eclipse, I printed myself this Glowing Eclipse Necklace. The phases of the sun glow in the dark.

Note-- I have only tested this on a 0.35mm nozzle.

Need more coverage than the 0.3mm of the final color? Have a larger nozzle? Wanna do manual filament switches that need to be more forgiving? @barb_3dprintny has your back! I just uploaded her remix-- solar pendant remixed.stl.

This one, you can switch to the final color at the 1.25mm mark. She also made the corona around the totality wider. Thanks Barb!
