BATISEÑAL Remix del diseño de LeHof para usar pilas / Bat-signal Remix from de LeHof's design to use batteries

thingiverse

This remix was made to breathe new life into a discarded LED lantern and give it a stunning makeover using the iconic design of the LeHof Bat-signal. I simply swapped out the original base with a custom set of pieces, allowing me to repurpose the lamp holder, cover, and switch while giving it the freedom to rotate on the Z axis. My goal is to take this project to the next level by replacing the lantern's parts, creating a design that can be fully printed at home. However, there are still a few hours of work ahead before I can achieve this. The electronics are surprisingly straightforward: just one LED light (which you can see in the photos), three AAA batteries, and a button with retention as a switch. To get the perfect effect, it's essential to use only one LED and not multiple ones. This is because the projection of light from different sources creates multiple shadows, making it impossible to achieve the iconic Bat-signal effect. The printed pieces are minimal and easy to clean, requiring only a few supports during the printing process. Assembly involves gluing some of the parts together (just like in the original LeHof design) and using a M3 screw to join the two base parts, allowing the reflector to rotate smoothly.
