Night at the Cathedral

So I had a thought about a fun little 3d printing project. I picked up a few cheap night lights when I was at the hardware store, then after a little measuring got a Gothic-style window design off of Thingiverse, bent it into a semicircle, added a base so that it would fit onto the light the way the original transparent cover did, and then did a little stone texturing after printing it out. With a "lead" grid draw onto a clear plastic strip, it doesn't look half bad.

And when the light comes on, it continues to look right.

Pretty happy with this, at least as a small project. May try something more ambitious with a more elaborate rose window.
