Desktop Carbon Arc Searchlight

pinshape

This desktop model of a Carbon Arc Searchlight was based on the iconic 80-inch Carbon Arc searchlight built by GE in 1903. The massive model measures 80mm deep and 157.5mm wide, with a total height of 210mm when fully assembled, featuring a functioning pivot for aiming the light output. This model can be printed on any 3D printer with a 200mm x 200mm x 150mm print envelope and has been optimized to ensure minimal or no support is required for each part when oriented correctly on the bed. In the design phase, we focused on creating a usable and highly printable model that would be hardware-free (lighting components excluded) so aside from some light gluing, you shouldn't need anything else to assemble your model. The included instructions also contain links to the LED components sourced through Amazon. Please see the attached instruction sheet before printing. The material used for the clear lens came from Hobby Lobby but is widely available in most areas. Also, please don't try to print Carbon Arc Searchlight assembly B.stl, as this file is included solely for viewing the assembled model in a 3D viewer. The main light body and top plate feature our logo. If you prefer to print your Desktop Carbon Arc Searchlight without our logo or would like to print the top plate and support arms as one piece, please check out our other Pinshape designs. You can purchase each component for logo-free prints while helping to support our excellent host, Pinshape. Upgrades are available for those looking to enhance their searchlight experience.
