Maybe you can make light channels for the side vents, so the light will bleed through??

Our prototype comes in at about 45mm wide.

Going to try after some photos we took a look at. Possibly 60mm wide

 

[PrinceZip]

Looks nice! I do think the real one might be little bit bigger than the prototype

That’s the plan. Just dialing the size right.
Trying 60mm wide like the V1

The gem lights up beautifully
