Take your electric candle and turn it into a working pagoda lantern!
For this project you require an electric candle with:
CR2032 battery
5mm LED
Switch with size ~L=11mm, W=6mm, H=5.2mm
Most cheap candles I found met these requirements.
General:
0,2mm layer height
Printer using PLA
Printing:
To print choose a Bottom and Top.
Print this together with the housing
Bottom:
Print upside down with supports enables (only touching build plate)
Top:
Print right side up
Place supports around the outer rim of the model (only supporting the overhang)
Housing:
Print right side up
Manual supports:
Circle dia8mm height 8.5mm x0y0
Square 8mm height 3.5 x-4y0
Square 8mm height 3.5 x-10y0
Square 8mm height 3.5 x2.5y4
Square 8mm height 3.5 x2.5y-4
Assemble:
- Take the housing and the electronics from the candle
- Push LED through the hole of the housing
- Push the switch into position
- Bend the wires in the correct positions (make sure none are toughing)
- Put battery in place
- Fold a strip of post-its a couple of times and stick it to the battery
- Take a bottom and place it on top
- Put the top on top
Own design:
A STEP model of the bottom template and top template is uploaded if you wish to make your own design.
