Post-Printing
Minimal work
Your Moon might be a little rough at the bottom and top. Use some sand paper (wet 200 grit and up) until it feels good.
Depending on your printers dimensional accuracy you might have to sand a couple of edges in order to make the locking work.
How I Designed This
This Design is tested and 100% printable.
The data for the Moon I got from u/moononournation. It had 5 million tris! I had to reduce that to 1M (meshlab), designed the lamp fixture with a #3DP bayonet lock and the rocket like feet (Fusion360) and merged the two designs (Blender). The Moon was printed (Prusa MK3s) and the clearance to the Stand dialed in. Quite a venture I tell you. It is a proven design.
Timelapse
Prusa MK3s prints the Stand of the Moon Lamp, Prusa PLA silver. The recording was shot in complete darkness, with IR night vision.
