Description
Openscad design for LED lit UFO, this design is lit with WS2812B LEDs linked below(B). It uses an Arduino library called fast LED(A). I would recommend using an existing light controller(C) and LED strip(D) if you are not familiar with electronics.
Instructions:
Print out the 4 parts. Any color will work for all the parts except the LED ring. The LED ring should be printed with a clear/transparent filament I recommend the link below(E)(or F). The LEDs should be wired as WS2812B (daisy-chained) data line and power bus parallel connected. Power and data signal were should be run through the base then connected to the LED ring. Then all the parts were epoxied together.

This filament is very good for me. Full roll prints without extruder jams. which is important for this design given its size.
