Large (7 in. width) Pocatello Temple (with Lights)

This model of the Pocatello Temple by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is designed by Matthew Borgholthaus (Me)! The Temple is designed in such a way to be able to fit a few different types of timed battery packs commonly found in stores (not all will work but I have tested 2 that work so far and found another. 1 fits slightly better than the others, so I use that one mainly.)

 I printed this in PETG at a .20mm layer height with 10% infill. The battery holder is a flexible component but TPU is not required. The temple is designed in a way where it should not bend farther than it would take to break it under average weight for PETG (tested with Prusament PETG and Bambu labs Basic PETG). Theoretically, it should work with PLA too, but I would be careful with the clips holding the battery pack as they are meant to be flexible, like a plastic buckle. (It should be close to the applied force required for a plastic buckle, like on a backpack for PETG) With PLA as the print material, these clips may become too brittle and crack when installing the battery pack.

-Before installing the LEDs make sure to have enough slack to pull out the battery pack to swap the batteries in the future. 

-The assembly works by flipping the temple upside down, then wrapping around a wire LED pack string in the inner lower base 2-4 times. 

-After that, wrap around the inner core that holds the battery pack leaving 3 LEDS.

- After that take the last 3 LEDS and Wrap them around a pencil or small long cylindrical object to create a spring-shape. Once that is done you can install the spring shape into the spire of the Temple. 

-Lastly, you can install the battery pack into the clips and turn it on by following the battery pack instructions. :)

Here is a YouTube video on how to take out the battery pack for an already assembled version. (It may aid in how to assemble it.)

Alternative battery packs (may require a flush cut tool to fit the nubbin that is normally left on)

The Statue of Moroni is not on this model as the scale of the building is small. The statue would not print well at this scale, and would not be easily distinguishable.
