Illuminated Wizard Staff

thingiverse

This is a remix of the Full Sized Wizard Wand or Staff by skaye, available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:223622. To make it illuminate, I made several key changes. A hole was drilled through each post to facilitate wiring. The orbs were hollowed out, allowing for printing with translucent filament - I opted for Colorme3D Purple Haze. Once printed, drill a hole from the bottom up to allow more light into the orb. One post features space for the battery pack; I repurposed the guts of a free Harbor Freight flashlight. A switch hole is located in the end cap, enabling control over the light via tapping on the ground. The lights fit snugly at the top post's end. Simply extend the wiring and solder it to the battery pack. These models print flawlessly on my printers without supports; I used gyroid infill for the orb. When the paint job and final assembly are complete, I'll upload photos.
