Real-Sky Star Lamp 150 mm - 1,589 real stars, 3D printable night-sky lamp shade

1,589 real stars at 150 mm, down to the naked-eye limit.

A sphere pierced by the real stars. Light it from inside and your ceiling becomes the actual night sky, the right way round. Brighter stars, bigger holes. Three parts (north half, south half, joining ring), no supports. 40 mm LED opening at the south celestial pole. Shell 2 mm; smallest holes 1.0 mm, so use a 0.4 mm nozzle or finer, or resin. Use an LED light, not a flame.

Personal licence: print as many as you like for yourself, gifts and classrooms; up to 10 physical prints a year may be sold. Do not re-share the files.

Stars: Yale Bright Star Catalogue, 5th rev. (Hoffleit & Warren 1991), J2000.

Not test-printed yet: the geometry is checked watertight and manifold by script, but we have not printed it ourselves.

Made with AI assistance: geometry generated by AI-written code from public datasets (credited in the README). Previews are renders of the real files.
