My Customized Jedi Holocron. Face Design Inspired by Thingiverse's #672161, Credit to Hambone for That. All Other Components Designed, Printed, and Test-Fitted by Me. To Build This Item, You'll Need: * (1) Automotive LED Bulb (#194), Available on eBay at an Affordable Price. I Chose These as They Have LEDs Facing Both Sides of the Cube and Are Bright. * (1) Foot of 22-Gauge Wire (Two Colors: Red and Black) * A Small Sheet of Translucent, 2mm-Thick Plexiglass Big Enough to Cut Out Four 85mm x 85mm Squares * Scoring Tool or Sharp Utility Knife for Cutting the Plexiglass * Soldering Iron and Solder * 5-Minute Epoxy for Gluing All Pieces Together. Super Glue Also Works, But It Releases Fumes That Can Damage the Finish Print All Components. Assembling the Base: 1. Start by Gluing the Battery Box Centered Over the Opening. 2. Next, Install the Switch and Glue the Switch Mount to the Base with the Switch Facing Down. This Helps Keep it Centered. 3. Solder Your Wire Leads to the LED Bulb. 22-Gauge Wire Works Best as It Easily Fits into the Channel of the LED Mount. 4. Install the LED Bulb into the Mount, Pressing It Firmly Down While Guiding the Wires Through the Channel at the Bottom. 5. Glue the LED Mount on Top of the Battery Box, Keeping it Centered. 6. Solder or Tape the Black Negative Wires from the 9-Volt Connector to the Black Negative Wire from the LED Bulb. 7. Solder the Red Positive Wire from the 9-Volt Connector to One Terminal on the Switch. 8. Solder the Red Positive Wire from the Bulb to the Other Terminal on the Switch. 9. Connect the Battery and Test the Connections. Cut Out Five Pieces of Plexiglass, Each 85mm x 85mm. It Must Be 2mm Thick to Fit Through the Faces. Each Face of the Cube Has Guides Inside. There's Only One Way to Assemble Them. The Top Also Guides in Each Corner That Fits into the Tops of Each Face. Assemble the Faces One by One, Making Sure the Glue Sets. Then Place the Assembled and Glued Cube Over the Base and Glue It. And That's It! You Now Have a Nice Little Portable Night Light. Print Settings: * 20% Infill * All Settings at 50mm/Sec Speed (Can Increase to Lower Time) * No Support Needed for the Base. Just Print it Upside Down (45-Degree Angle Needs No Support), Which Also Eliminates the Need for Support for Ledges That the Battery Door Sits On. * Total Print Time: 12 Hours * Filament Used: 44,300mm * Estimated Cost of Filament: $3.60 (Calculated Using a 3D Printer Calculator at a Cost of $27 for a 1kg/2lb Spool) * Radioshack Switch: $3 * Epoxy: $4 * LED Bulb: $2 (Available on eBay) * 9-Volt Battery: $4 (Available at Any Store or Walmart) * 9-Volt Battery Wire: $1 (Available at Radio Shack) * Plexiglass: Varies (Local Tap Plastics Shop Has Scraps for Very Cheap. I Got Five Sheets for $1)
