Tourlitis Lighthouse

Model of the Tourlitis lighthouse from Andros, Greece. Modeled in Blender, printed on a Prusa MK3S, hand painted with acrylic. 

Paint Instructions:

Parts are more easily painted before assembling. Paint the inside of the rings dark so that the interior appears dark from the small window. Use a light coat of paint on the windows of the light cage so that the lamp isn't diminished. If light from the lamp bleeds through parts of the light cage that should not be illuminated paint the interior in a dark coat, again avoiding the windows. 

Build Instructions: 

Parts, excluding the rocks and blub spacer, should be glued together to create the lighthouse structure. The pins on the lighthouse fit down and twist to connect to the rocks but allow for access to the interior of the lighthouse to change batteries and lightbulbs. The bulb spacer fits up into the platform piece to position the lightbulbs at the correct height, run wires through the two holes and solder to the bulb mount. Connect the bulb to a power supply with a switch somewhere in the circuit. The bulb spacer can be removed or installed with a pencil and by tugging on the wires connected to the bulb mount. If you need to modify any parts that lock with each other the pins and slots are 4 mm in diameter. This model is not print, plug and play perfect. It definitely requires work to obtain that polish that I do not have time for. Don't expect this to be easy to make.

I use the following components for my lamp circuit but in retrospect the circuit is kinda bad and I would not recommend the same components, the circuit seems to build resistance somewhere and the lamp quickly dies.

I used random wires I found around my school's workspace.
