The device is mostly 3D printed. All parts expect the foot pads were printed in PLA+ on a MakerBot MethodX. The foot pads(not shown) were printed in TPU.
All parts expect the light housing panels are straightforward. The panels (shown below) were printed with the side facing the vials up such that these were smoother and hence more reflective. The breakaway supports are a bit tedious to clean. I would recommend a lower layer height (0.1mm) and a somewhat higher infill (25% or more) to ensure that the part does not snap while removing the supports.
