A remix of an amazing design bij Martin Kozak. Moon surface model is based on the real lunar 3D data. 
I wanted the moon to be larger and more decorative. The moon is now split into four parts and has a diameter of almost half a meter. Additionally, I made a new frame that is less noticeable and matches the modified moon.

I printed the moon pieces flat with a 0.4mm nozzle, using variable layer height with max quality, 15% infill, and 6 top layers to achieve a very nice result.

Materials used:

  • PLA
  • Joint sealant (to fill some small gaps between the pieces of the moon)
  • Spray paint, gray with glitter (to paint the moon after using the sealant)
  • LED strip WS2812 (link)
  • An ESP32 with WLED with this case (same on the photos).
  • Optional: Inserts for the back part

Differences of the remix compared to the original

This model doesn’t require glue for support, eliminating any risk of light glue causing the moon to fall. Additionally, a back support has been added to prevent the moon from falling if you want to remove it from the wall.
