These look great. They're 3D printed crystal shapes in various sizes printed as hollow objects in clear PLA. When standard LED strings are inserted into them they light extremely well.
In this case I'm making a number for use on a themed Xmas tree as part of a display in the local town hall. The Manx Beard Club submitted an entry called the Kryptonite Tree by the Department of Villainy. It's going to be an all green tree with green LED strings (with random crystals) and a green LED flame-lamp as a topper. We're hoping it will keep Superman at bay while we commit villainous Xmas deeds.

They were printed on a Cetus 2 at 100%, 75% and 50% scales using clear PLA filament.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
