Rainbow Raindrops
Home: California, United States
These 3D printed raindrops are made on a large delta printer from post-industrial recycled PETG. The large layers act like a fresnel lens and diffract the LED lights inside, making them look like rainbow lasers!

This project was an experiment in 3D printing perfectly clear layers, with the wonderful side effect of creating the fresnel lens effect.
