Bending Light
No supports, no post production!
A marble sphere that breaks the light into many colorful fragments (insert an RGB light into the lamp; "sunset circle" effect bulbs work well, too).
Marble and bamboo are contrasting elements, yet a pattern can unite them.
Can a monochromatic greenhouse sphere convey the power of a pattern designed to be multicolored? 3D-printed lithophane technology can solve this mystery.
It can be printed without supports, but take a close look at the photo: if you don't use supports, the print will succeed, but you'll need to remove a few thin strands by pulling or cutting them off. Post-processing is minimal; I didn't do any at all for the photos—the print is shown exactly as it came off the build plate. However, I recommend using a bit of inner and outer brim to ensure better stability for the base of the dome.
Supports: No, they aren't needed; the model is ready as-is.
Print profile files are included.
