Use OpenSCAD

1. Download and install: OpenSCAD version 2021.01 or newer
2. Download: The *.scad file of this model.
3. Start OpenSCAD and open the *.scad file in it.
4. Open the customizer via the menu "Window/Customizer"

Now you can configure the model and use the F5 key to render the preview of your changes.

Export your STL file

If you're done with your model settings, you can export the STL file:

1. Render the mesh by pressing the F6 key.
2. Wait until the rendering is finished. This might take some minutes.
3. Export the STL file by pressing the F7 key.

Optionally save your configuration

If you like to use your configuration as a template for further models, it's a good idea, to save your configuration:

1. Click the + symbol in the customizer, which you find beside the configuration selector drop-down in the second line of the customizer.
2. Give your configuration a name.

Use the drop-down menu to access your saved configurations.

Post printing

Glue Rainbow to stand

I recommend to use superglue to attach the rainbow segments to the stand.

If the bows don't fit into the holes, you can increase the stand attachment hole tolerance value
