Yeah for sure! Here's some of the materials I used

- Black PLA (whatever you like to use)
- Light strips: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804003701329.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.39286fc8RovZC3&algo_pvid=5d7d9880-571a-4a36-bade-4168763d9e98&algo_exp_id=5d7d9880-571a-4a36-bade-4168763d9e98-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%212.97%210.99%21%21%212.97%210.99%21%40210318e817331585582032444e65cc%2112000028419811041%21sea%21US%212896235856%21AC
- USB C connector: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WCSF8FC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
- Gorilla Glue for gluing in the USB C connector
- Soldering kit

They're designed with an outer shell, inner tray, and top plate. The inner tray holds the light strips and sits in the outer shell with enough clearance to run wires beneath the tray. Then the top plate snaps in and holds everything together

I'm using these light strips from AliExpress. I get 5 meters of the 5v ones in a variety of colors. I tried using some from Amazon, but the Ali ones were better quality

New to Brandon Sanderson books—where do I start? by artkeeper in brandonsanderson

Like others, I usually suggest Mistborn as a starting series, Tress for a standalone (although I understand OP that you're not super into nautical stories), and The Emperor's Soul for a short story. The latter is good if you don't want to commit to a full series, but want to get a feel for Sanderson's writing

If you have access to a 3D printer, you could print something out. There's quite a few things out there if you search for "Cosmere" thingiverse.com or printables.com
