In love with the translucent moon posted here by "moononournation" (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4102658 , scaled 50% in my case) I designed this very small stand that handles both illumination and rotation of the moon.
The stand is powered by an Arduino micro I had laying around (it had pre soldered pins so case is adapted for those measures) and a crappy 9g servo modified for continuous rotation. Design should be easy to adapt to both other translucent spherical objects (thinking of a Death Star next :) ), or as a rotating stand for basically any small object.
A knob allows to control the rotation direction and speed while a button cycles through the available colors (basic selection at the moment, will update Arduino code soon).
I removed the useless parts from the servo to save space (bottom and top covers), but not all small servos are made equal so can't guarantee that it will work with other models, altho, scaling the 3d printed gear connected to the servo should all
