LITTLE-LIGHT

LITTLE-LIGHT

You never know when you might need a little light.

a small, simple little led light you can attach to your keyring. 

most other keyring lights you have to squees to turn on and when you let go they turn off. My design can be turned on / off by sliding the battery forward and back, the light will stay on when in the forward position.

my design is also one piece, making it quicker and easier to print and assemble.

You will need:

5mm LED

CR2032 battery

a small length of 1.75mm filament

tools: needle nose tweezers & clippers to cut down one of the LEDs legs.

assembly instructions:

with the short (-) leg of the LED facing down place a small length of 1.75mm filament between the legs.

bend the top (long / +) leg over the filament at a slight sideways angle so the legs don't touch.

 cut the led leg so it doesn't extend beyond the LED. then pull out the filament.

with the LED leg facing down slide the LED into the hole at the front of the LITTLE-LIGHT.

 push the LED in so it doesn't obstruct the small horizontal holes. 

now take your length of filament and push it through the small horizontal holes.

 then trim flush. 

now pop in your CR2032 battery with the + side facing up. 

 you can use something sharp the scratch up the battery to give your finger more traction BUT BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH TO DEEP AND DAMAGE THE BATTERY

DONE. now slide the battery forward to turn ON the LITTLE LIGHT and back to turn OFF.

Print settings

supports = no

wall line count = 5 (will probably work with fewer)

infill = 20%

I printed in PETG, other plastics are untested, PLA will probably work but is more brittle.

it should print in about 20 min.

Happy printing
