Make a kaleidoscope
Build a kaleidoscope: glue three mirror strips into the triangular tube, drop beads under the lid printed in clear or white plastic, and look through the eyehole at the other end towards the light.
Print the lid in clear or white so light comes through.
Prints as shown on its floor, no supports. The lid prints as a separate part, top down.
Filament: at most about 161 g of PLA printed solid (roughly $3.23 at $20 per kg); normal infill uses less.
