    I would love to know how the paper used as diffusor was fixed to the 3d model

      I took the very thin 3D printed cell outline shape, a grey screenshot in my post, and used it to trace the mulberry paper. Then cut and glued paper onto the bottom of that cell outline, and screwed the outline plate into the main assembly.

      This is by far one of the biggest areas where I could improve the design. I'm not happy with how fragile it is. The good thing about using just paper screwed from the top is it's thin enough to prevent light bleeding between cells.
