Firework Segmented Centre

The full story of this build can be found under the excellent post from bubbaque and his build of the Firework Star at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5200407.

This thingi is a variation on the theme and uses a segment ball design which can be used with bubbaque's adapters in a similar manner to the way he uses another of my designs, the "spikey sphere" at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5090324.

When bullet pixels (eg WS2812) or other Christmas lights are attached to the ball or spokes coming from this centre it makes an excellent holiday display feature. There are two ways to use this.

a. Using threaded hole version of this centre and the adapters given by bubbaque, you can fit a series of "spokes" to this centre and attach programmable leds (WS2812 pixels or neo pixels) to them . Animating the pixels on the build using software such as xLights allows you to create realistic looking firework effects that can dazzle audiences. See the you tube video of bubbaques thingiv
