Lightsaber Light 3D Printer Attachment

thingiverse

Designed as an Ender3 light attachment, so that you can keep track of your print progress without needing to turn the room light on. Can be attached to most 3d printer setups. Designed and modelled to closely resemble Luke Skywalkers Lightsaber, whilst maintaining lighting function. For lighting you will require: 1 x on/off switch - $1 1 x Lithium battery 2032 - $1 1 x 5mm LED diode light (White provides best light, however blue, red and green will keep within the theme) 5 cents if you buy in bulk. Otherwise you can pick up a strong single LED for $1 50cm of thin electrical cable, cut into 3 pieces - 30 cents Electrical tape can be used to connect wire to battery/LED/switch or solder if you would like a stronger connection. A cheap solder kit will set you back $15, and will easily get the job done. The holder requires the leftover bolt from your ender 3 kit, if not I believe its a m5 x 45mm, and can easily and cheaply be purchased. The bolt is fed through the slots in the spool holder, and you can rotate the light horizontally to provide clearance from the hotend/cables on taller prints. I will redesign the lightsaber holder into a single piece for ease of printing and improved fit/function, when I get some spare time. I will also attach a wiring instruction diagram for the lighting. Its extremely simple and most children should be able to hook it up. The lightsaber pieces have been superglued together. Printing: 0.2mm layer height. Skirt: Yes Support: Yes Printer used: Ender 3 v2
