<p><strong>LITTLE-LIGHT</strong></p><p><i>You never know when you might need a little light.</i></p><p>a small, simple little led light you can attach to your keyring.&nbsp;</p><p>most other keyring lights you have to squees to turn on and when you let go they turn off. My design can be turned on / off by sliding the battery forward and back, the light will stay on when in the forward position.</p><p>my design is also one piece, making it quicker and easier to print and assemble.</p><p>You will need:</p><p>5mm LED</p><p>CR2032 battery</p><p>a small length of 1.75mm filament</p><p>tools: needle nose tweezers &amp; clippers to cut down one of the LEDs legs. <img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/278125/rich_content/3ed2be0c-9adf-4b5a-966e-167b4d01ed1c/img_9850.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22a12c21cd-5260-4785-8793-37463820b5aa%22%2C%22w%22%3A3011%2C%22h%22%3A2247%7D"></p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>assembly instructions:</h3><p>with the short (-) leg of the LED facing down place a small length of 1.75mm filament between the legs.</p><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:100%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/278125/rich_content/254fc375-231c-4180-ae39-bd00ec9be7a9/img_9851.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%221a991f61-777b-45b0-9cec-f3ec1539d344%22%2C%22w%22%3A1713%2C%22h%22%3A1713%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>bend the top (long / +) leg over the filament at a slight sideways angle so the legs don't touch.</p><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:100%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/278125/rich_content/8ebd9c49-b828-4df0-a4a3-d532a30b5ce0/img_9852.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%220ddb7a56-777f-4ff7-8109-06dc91cb6578%22%2C%22w%22%3A2092%2C%22h%22%3A2092%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;cut the led leg so it doesn't extend beyond the LED. then pull out the filament.</p><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:100%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/278125/rich_content/2ad496db-2334-42f7-b51c-b840201bd9b1/img_9853.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22e669ffd4-4f0f-4925-b326-628e055a1b6e%22%2C%22w%22%3A1767%2C%22h%22%3A1767%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>with the LED leg facing down slide the LED into the hole at the front of the LITTLE-LIGHT.<img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/278125/rich_content/4916635d-0b99-47f5-958c-a6488775c5cb/img_9855.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22bf3bbd83-81b3-4062-a34a-95170827c91b%22%2C%22w%22%3A2207%2C%22h%22%3A2207%7D"></p><p>&nbsp;push the LED in so it doesn't obstruct the small horizontal holes.<img class="image_resized" style="width:100%;" src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/278125/rich_content/40458802-b1bf-4fd4-bec0-fb991c6a1a27/img_9856.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%220ff3fdfd-456e-47e5-bac3-4e85b36c95d1%22%2C%22w%22%3A983%2C%22h%22%3A983%7D">&nbsp;</p><p>now take your length of filament and push it through the small horizontal holes.<img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/278125/rich_content/44ddd522-7a6b-40e3-9afe-1ead9ddef202/img_9857.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%223b285bb8-717e-4bd2-8bd1-13bc498f510a%22%2C%22w%22%3A1304%2C%22h%22%3A1304%7D"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/278125/rich_content/503e9bdb-ed6f-4eb9-8e37-44d88262acb2/img_9858.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22d29d755e-68dc-4b34-bba4-27c302bf2e69%22%2C%22w%22%3A1516%2C%22h%22%3A1516%7D"></p><p>&nbsp;then trim flush.<img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/278125/rich_content/c7915b1e-e047-47d9-be1d-d523d98c15f2/img_9860.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22769a1840-765e-4134-b865-1a2754e5ff8a%22%2C%22w%22%3A1625%2C%22h%22%3A1625%7D">&nbsp;</p><p>now pop in your CR2032 battery with the + side facing up.<img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/278125/rich_content/612d510c-9449-4d89-b367-b822d2a38a91/img_9869.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2296f80ce3-06a3-4156-aa04-5e04abbe1d06%22%2C%22w%22%3A1818%2C%22h%22%3A1818%7D">&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;you can use something sharp the scratch up the battery to give your finger more traction BUT BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH TO DEEP AND DAMAGE THE BATTERY<img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/278125/rich_content/7eb31fba-0046-464b-8c11-2eba04df8224/img_9863.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2206b5f676-34b7-41ad-83d5-f87dd1566fe6%22%2C%22w%22%3A3024%2C%22h%22%3A3024%7D"></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>DONE. now slide the battery forward to turn ON the LITTLE LIGHT and back to turn OFF.<img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/278125/rich_content/f6ae112e-0d29-4196-9ac6-c6b4b1474c80/7d447ee1-d26c-45b9-ae08-c6e69ddb8a8f.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2288c56949-e65e-44a7-843a-3186222155d0%22%2C%22w%22%3A1818%2C%22h%22%3A1818%7D"></p><h3>Print settings</h3><p>supports = no</p><p>wall line count = 5 (will probably work with fewer)</p><p>infill = 20%</p><p>I printed in PETG, other plastics are untested, PLA will probably work but is more brittle.</p><p>it should print in about 20 min.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Happy printing</p><p><strong>~PATCH~</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
