Pleatlight

Glow an LED puck through thin pleated walls

A shade whose walls are a single line thick. Print the pleated gear outline in translucent white PLA with a 1 mm wall, stand it over a battery LED puck and the whole surface glows, brighter on every fold; it turns the thin-wall limit of a printer into the look of a pleated paper shade.
