Light up Fortnite Clinger

thingiverse

Decided to give mine a makeover and make it light up with real sticking abilities. So, I designed it to work around a plunger with a 22mm shaft. I've also drawn up a "print in place" loop end cap to let you hang it if you want. The original assembled body got a 22mm hole drilled straight through it, then split in half to print and glue together. The 'emitter' inserts were made hollow to allow LEDs to be put inside them. I cut the plunger shaft down the center to create a cavity for a battery and switch. I used an AA-sized battery holder, a 14500 Li-ion battery with a small toggle switch. The idea was to push one end of the shaft in and out to turn it on and off, but that didn't work too well, so I altered it a little. Hot glue was used to attach the switch onto the end of the battery holder, and made the shafts a tighter push fit with some room for the battery to move forward and back. Now it turns the LEDs on and off each time it's dropped. The total shaft length is about 270mm to get the scale looking better - I shortened it a little from the "Make" photos as it looked out of proportion. I may still alter this further, as the scale of the rubber plunger is larger than I'd liked, so I might still end up printing the wall mount version. That would also stop my kids from running around with it stuck to various parts of their body, reenacting Fortnite. "- 'ARRRHHH!! Rev Me... Rev Me!' - Do what? - Just pretend to press X on me! - Yeah, you can see how that goes!"
