Kirby Glow Box / Light

thingiverse

So here's a remix of Feoras' Kirby to make him hollow, and also a box with a slot for Kirby to sit in that has a hole that fits a 5mm LED so you can shine a light up through Kirby. The box is big enough to fit a small AA or AAA battery box, or a simple CR2032 / Led Adapter like this one I have in the photos: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:525799 You can use any 5mm LED, but I like the 2 Pin RGB ones that just pulse through multiple colors. They're available in fast or slow pulse (fast pulse makes him look like Star Power Kirby!), and they run well off of cheap CR2032 batteries. This Elegoo LED kit on Amazon currently for ~$9 has 20 of these 2 pin RGB LEDs (10 slow flash & 10 fast flash), and also has many other LEDs to play with: https://www.amazon.com/Elegoo-Diffused-Assorted-Flashing-Arduino/dp/B0739VKXYG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1509039930&sr=8-4&keywords=led+kit For Kirby, I think he would print okay without supports, but I am not 100% sure. I used Simplify 3D which lets you place manual supports, and I did put one support right under the center of the head that came out the bottom hole, and I put a couple under the right arm (Kirby's left arm). In my photos it's printed at .2mm layer height with 20% infill - although if you have the time, he'd probably look better with .1mm or lower layer height. If you're interested in the filament, I used "3D Solutech Natural Clear 1.75mm PLA" - it's not really clear, but it is a nice diffused look that works well for this. The box is also printed at .2mm layer height with supports for the lid. The lid fits snugly (it snaps in place). Thanks Feoras for the great Kirby!!!
