My previous [Dodecahedron](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:424042) print was a trial run for making something bigger.

Fully printed its diameter is just under 10″: I designed a single pentagonal volumes to nearly fill the build plate on my Makerbot Replicator (1). Each volume took 4 hours to print * 12 prints = 48 hours of print time.
The whole fixture is held together via zip-ties except the bottom pentagon: It’s held by neodymium magnets embedded into the print itself (bought at Home Depot), held in place by super-glue: By removing it, you can replace the light. A 60 watt Cree LED bulb (which is pretty bright, you can safely go with a lower wattage) is screwed into a repurposed shop-light from Home Depot fits perfectly in the top, while a custom printed clamp screws onto the ba
