Skallingen lighthouse

What is It?

Yes, it is a lighthouse.
Yes, it is a piggy bank.
Yes, it is a puzzle maze.
Yes, it is an electric tealight holder.

So with this one, you get a 4-in-one model. 

I needed a puzzle box for a small gift to make it a little funny, to see the winner opening the gift. But it would be a little sad to see the box just being unused after it has been opened.

So I decided to make a replica of an old lighthouse (that doesn't exist anymore) since the tower's shape is good for the puzzle maze. I only had 2 pictures to look after, so it is not a complete measurement-correct model, but I think it came out quite well. 

To make it useable afterward, I designed it for a tea light, and it makes it look great when it is on.
It is only designed to use ELECTRIC tealights, if you choose to use real tealights in the model you do this on your own accord. 

For the maze, I put it on the inside of the model for longer durability instead of on the key, since it is quicker just to print a new key instead of the main model. 

So to make it even more functional I put in a slot under the tealight placement so that it also became a piggybank. and At first look and even second look it does not look like a piggybank.

I printed the main part with a 0.6 nozzle and when I looked closer at it mid print I noticed that I had not corrected the retraction, at that the nozzle was worn down.  But in this case, the imperfection adds to the look of the model and makes it look more old. 



So good printing fun.
