Minecraft Redstone Ore Lamp Redone

thingiverse

Disclaimer: I'm still learning about 3D printing, with only two months under my belt. I loved the idea for a Redstone Lamp, but being a perfectionist, I noticed that some side cutouts were rotated 90 degrees in TinkerCAD. I corrected this and then remixed the design to create my own supports using Cura. When I printed it, I wasn't thrilled with how the automatically generated supports worked out (or didn't work well), so I decided to remix it again with my own custom supports. This time, they turned out a lot better, in my opinion. To complete this model, simply remove the supports and cut out the small temporary bridges. Next, I remixed the Lid because I thought the outside lip was too thin and loose at 1 mm thick. I also made it thinner in the body of the lid and adjusted the height of the boxes to keep the finished model a perfect cube of 70mm. For my 7-year-old's birthday party, I created another STL file to hold some LED lights that I bought (link below). This final file has a textured bottom but is still solid. It also features a holder for the LED light built in. This file requires supports only for the textured base. I added a brim to the file so I could block any supports made by Cura with the "Touching Build Plate" option. These files don't need any supports. "Minecraft Glow Ore SculptedBase.stl" "Minecraft Glow Ore SolidBase.stl" "Minecraft Glow Ore TexturedBase.stl" This file is designed with Supports "touching build plate" in mind. It may also print fine without supports. Here's the link to the remote control, battery-operated LED lights: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07D36S5PH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Update (Sept 2018): The white part in the photo is just a 65 mm cube printed in "Spiralize Contours" (aka vase mode). I'm still not sure why, but when I printed the white part, the sides warped. Still trying to figure it out... Also added a picture with the LED on. Update (Oct 2018): I added a new light box. It's just a thin-walled five-sided box, printed in white, as seen in the photo of the five boxes. Printed regularly, this one doesn't warp.
