This is a representation of the northern lights, not a very exact one of course. I printed it with black and natural PLA (clear may be better for the fins but natural worked well too) I then inserted 14 5mm LEDs which create the lighting effect. I used a TLC5940NT to contol the LEDs, connected to an arduino UNO. This allowed the brightness of each LED to be varied individually.
There are holes in the base piece to mount the arduino and copper strip board with the TLC5940 on it. They are desi
