I used the code for my latest "hex" designs on a sphere: The result is a complex shape that still prints nicely with no supports on a FFF style machine. It's just under 6" across. As designed, the hole in the base will fit a votive candle: I wouldn't put a real votive in there, but LED votives work well. It will also lay flat on this base without rolling around. It also looks good as a large ornament on your Christmas tree :) The image with the vase under it is a combination with my HexVase 04 print.Printed on Makerbot Replicator (1) with these settings sliced in Makerware: For the illumination hardware, I purchased a "snap-in candelabra base socket" from Home Depot (picture included), and a 45w candelabra bulb: Note that the bulb hot, but as of yet I've not had any issues since the print itself is so open. If you want something more decorative, I'd go 25w.
