Minecraft Obsidian Ore Nightlight

thingiverse

Minecraft Obsidian Ore Nightlight I made for my son some time ago, measuring about 80mm in size. Nightlight runs on 12v and uses a small section of white LED strip that's been powered by a salvaged 12v power pack. The LEDs are soldered to the end of the strip, which is then stuck to the base with leads passing through the cutout in the diffuser for optimal blockage. Clear resin was used to create an internal diffuser, giving the light an even appearance through the holes designed to be the lightest color sections in the ore block. Paper or a translucent white sheet of plastic (like milk bottles) could be used instead of printing a diffuser and gluing them inside the block. The base and main block were printed in black resin and should assemble without glue. I haven't tried this with an FDM printer, but it shouldn't be a problem if oriented correctly.
