This was quite a tedious thing to assemble and I don't really recommend copying it in its current form, tbh.
Making twelve of these paracord/magnet wire/stiffener hangers:
These go through holes in the table. I added straws for guiding:
There will be an LED strip on the top, going all around, a bit set to the inside. The the surface needs some aluminium foil for reflection:
Added some 90° PVC and glued on the legs which were cut to 50 mm:
The metal parts are chain links, bent 45°. They are used to mount the whole thing to the ceiling.
Added servos, Teensy/ESP board and servo shift register PCBs:
Attaching the stiffened paracord things to the servo wheels was a bit tedious because all need to be in approximately the right position. So all servos to "down", let the small lamps rest on a flat surface, and hot glue the paracord to the wheels:
Again chain links for the ceiling, the other side:
Now I can zip-tie the lamp to the ceiling.
Last step was to connect power to the top LED strip (PWM1) and to all twelve small lamps (PWM2):
