With the Objet Connex 500, Atherton is able to print single objects that seamlessly integrate two different materials, as opposed to less expensive printers that output one substance only. In this case, he combined a flexible rubber and a hard plastic to print out a pair of crystal orb speaker housings. From there he inserted strips of addressable RGB LEDs operated by a custom LumiGeek microcontroller to make the speakers glow in time with your tunes. LumiGeek also provided the companion app that enables users to fine tune the light show to their tastes.
