With over 20 3D printed parts, this was a long process. The printer used is an Anycubic Kossel Delta. 0.15 mm layer height. Just regular PLA+. Different infill and parameter configurations for different pieces.Overall printing time was about a week. Made a small setup to capture some timelapses. Had to be on the safe side with a UPS, and as some prints were multiple days nonstop, the room temperature was "controlled" with an AC.

3D printing setup. Anycubic Kossel, UPS, a very [un]professional lighting setup, and smartphones setup to capture time lapses.

The LED diffusers were printed with clear resin on the Anycubic Photon Mono.
