Summary

This is not a moon lamp (not again!) although it glows in the dark

This is not a tribute to flat-earthers either , so get out of my way !

I just wanted a phosphorescent Moon to go along with my son's star ceiling. And I had this roll of phosphorescent filament sitting still in my workshop!...

Obviously this was designed to be printed with phosphorescent material, but I think you might have a similar daytime effect with white or light gray material.

Best visual effect is achieved by painting dark or stickin dark film to the back side of the print prior to sticking it to the wall. Or sticking it to a dark wall (with transparent tape though!)

How I Designed This

I designed this from scratch, using a picture of mine, for the record it's the "super moon" of 7th april 2020, observed from Paris, France, with my telescope.
Then I converted it to a 3D mesh under Fusion360 with the "image2surface" add-in script (tutorial there: https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-CNC-Relief-Sculpture-Fusion-360/)
