You can find more about Masterwork Tools at our Masterwork Tools Website and Shop Instructions How to make the ArtefactFor this you will need to print all the parts, using a translucent orange for the body, and a silk pla silver for the plates.  It also looks great if you use protopasta steel filament and sand the heck out of the plates all the way up to something around 2000-3000 grit.  I recommend printing the plates using adaptive layers which exists in PrusaSlicer, BambuSlicer and OrcaSlicer.  You will need to glue the plates on using superglue.  There's an image that shows the plate order.  Put the top row onto the screwtop and then position every other plate relative to those five.  Be sure to pay attention to the orientation of each plate.  You will need to print the screwtop lid with supports.  If you are using a Bambu or other multi material printer, you can use PETG for the supports and it will detach easily.  Reference the image I attached for bambuslicer on how to do that. Orange Filament Silver Silk Filament Steel Filament (optional, in place of Silver Silk) PETG Filament (optional, color doesn't matter, used for supports on multi-material printers) Superglue Sandpaper How to make it light up The seed pixels (the LEDs) have three wires. One is marked, that is voltage. that gets soldered to the 5v hole on the ESP. Next one is is signal. I solder that to D4. Final wire is ground, that gets soldered to G. The wire can just be cut, I recommend going no longer than 30 leds on an ESP board. (you need around 11-12 for this build). Next you install WLED on the board. You need to have installed the driver. Then go to https://install.wled.me/, plug it in and follow the instructions. I sanded the grate with each of the listed sandpaper grits to get a good real looking metallic shine, and used thin strips of the mounting tape to stick the LEDs inside, as well as to hold on the ESP on the back. You want to position it such that the right angle USB cable can seat reasonably. Use a soldering iron to sink in the threads, and attach the clip to the front side of the grate. Cut the diffusion paper to size and sandwich that between the base and the grate, Attach the grate with the screws. Here's the set of gear I recommend: Seed LEDs ESP8266 USB C Cable, or USB C to USB A Cable Soldering Iron Solder Heat Shrink Tubing WLED Config Reference the image to see how to configure WLED.
