Crystal Light

prusaprinters

<p>A LED mini nightlight that changes colour is used to illuminate the crystal light by fitting inside the printed model.<br/> The mini nightlight was obtained from a large on-line shopping website, quite cheap.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I printed the transparent PLA crystal model with a 0.6 mm shell thickness and a 10% concentric fill.<br/> The concentric fill acted like a support for some of the crystal print due to the variations in height around the model.</p> <p>I printed a Prusa Galaxy Black PLA base, the mini nightlight fits in the centre of the base.<br/> The crystal model has a hole in the bottom that replicates the mini nightlight and thus fits over the mini nightlight keeping all the model central.</p> <p>Some experimentation may be done to get better illumination.<br/> When printing at 100% the light source hole at the bottom of the crystal print is 39 mm in diameter, 22 mm tall with a dome on top. Depending on your light source you can print a couple of layers, measure the diameter and scale accordingly using Prusa Slicer.</p>
