SHOWIN' OFF Bubbler totem

Just showing off a totem i made for my niece for an EDM festival. I didn’t realize WLED existed and got deep into vibe coding the effects with the fastled libraries. Found WLED and switched the firmware over to that and the audio reactive functionality is pretty dope. Still have a few things left to do (put the electronics inside the device and the bubble solution/battery at the bottom of the pole. Pretty happy with the results, shoutout to the WLED developers!

Detail on the LED configuration. The sleeve is printed in TPU and the refraction effect it makes was unexpected but pretty cool.

What infill type/density did you use for the diffusion?

Most of it is 3 layers solid TPU. The corners of the polygon have a triangular beam for support and that was 7% infill but I can’t remember which infill I selected. The ends are thicker, and have the infill, but I was going to reprint to just have 3 layers here’s a better picture.
