Revive the classic glowing solar system ceiling decals, upgraded to high definition with the power of 3D printing! These special relief models were created using some of the best imagery we have of our solar system, modified to be printed with glow-in-the-dark filament, and meticulously designed to maximize ease of printing without sacrificing detail.

This download includes several sizes of our beautiful moon! Each decal consists of a glowing part, and a backing, meant to be printed in black to enhance the contrast of the planets. The number in the file indicates the approxiate diameter of the finished decal.

Printing Guidelines

Print all parts solid at 0.12mm-0.16mm layer height. Designed for a 0.4mm hardened nozzle (to prevent glow filament from causing too much abbrasion).

For best results, glue the glow part into the black backing using a thick even coat of spray adhesive on the back of the glow part. This will fill the gaps between the parts for increased contrast.

Not all glow-in-the-dark filaments are created equal. Generally, filaments that glow GREEN have the brightest glow. To get an extra brilliant glow, use a 395mm UV flashlight* or other UV light to quickly charge the phosphors.

Use UHU Putty or similar to stick onto the wall or ceiling.
