The two 3mf files contain the height range settings to expose 50mm of gyroid infill in the model (as well as a portion of solid infill above and below for appearance purposes). There are also color change stops before and after the infill to achieve the multi color effect.

Additionally there are two versions of the plinth base that allow a wire to be slipped in the side and snap onto the bottom of the plinth. plinth-base-taller has two slots so you can daisy chain multiple lights together.

For the LED I used a 12v tower-style LED (ebay search) and a 12v power supply (ebay search). The base holds the wire in a fairly fixed position so I just put the wire through the base and soldered the LED onto the end of the wire. There wasn't any need for any more internal support, plus the LEDs I have don't get too warm so I'm not worried about melting the lamp if they touch.
