This is the ultimate lamp base for this falcon heavy when printed at 220%, so note the 3 falcon heavy lamp models when printed at 220% scale will fit nicely on top of the base printed at normal scale. So, this is a nice size for a night lamp.
This base will also fit the LED Strip perfectly, Arduino NANO bed, and also two holes from the center to run USB power to NANO and also features a rocker switch hole at the back, which can also be fed back into where the NANO is.
Rocker can just be inserted between the LED signal wire. Also I found that the NANO with USB is more than enough to power the LED strip :). So this is a great easy build.

Above is the exact things I used for this build.
Thanks to the original creators and remixes of this, my 2.5/yo Son who is obsessed with Falcon Heavy will be one happy boy on Xmas :)
Arduino NANO tips:
Power all by USB. Check code for PIN NUMBER to connect LED strip - connect to 5v on NANO and Ground. Insert rocker between LED signal wire to turn on off, obviously this leaves the NANO powered, so will need to look at other options.
Code, Library use FASTLED : I've included my custom code of one of the FASTLED library sample codes, I updated the lights and slowed them down to be really soothing. It gives off what I think to be a great effect.
PLA: I noticed a lot of people using transparent filament for exhaust, I ended up trying using the same white filament for rocket, and since the plume is hollowed out, it looked awesome white ( personal opinion ).
Supports: I used 85% threshold on all prints. Cura.
