I found a better model at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2023088 (Thanks Marksman-H). Of course I still want to tweak it.
I sort of have all the parts of the model placed in spots that work for me in Sketchup... I've tweaked a few. I sent 1/2 of this 1/2 scale to the work printer, but expect issues.
I intend to rip out the bits that should be printed individually, probably with spots on the sphere to receive them.
Toying with the idea of adding some sort of light instead of just the scotchlite (maybe as an alternate method?) Not sure how to get the light "even" enough though. I can print a tranlucent lens that'd probably be about right, but not sure if it'd diffuse an LED enough, or where to put the LED. Or how many to use. (There are 16 scotchlighted parts, seems like a lotta LEDs, not sure if a central light would work though.)
