Holiday Lights snowball!
As I mentioned previously, I have been getting more interested in creating props for my light shows. Part of that is because owning a 3D Printer allows me to experiment with shapes that are challenging to make it other ways.
I've been really interested in what I call snowballs - there's spheres that have lights coming out of them in all directions. [...]
