Minecraft Torch with Wall Mount

You expect your kids to help with household chores? Problem solved! I've got just the thing for you - print this, and you'll never have to ask again. Don't worry, I've got you covered. First, let's get one thing straight: don't even think about printing these STL files. They're just examples to show you how to use the OpenSCAD source file. That file is where all the magic happens, trust me. To make this work, you'll need a flashlight with a rear button. Preferably, it should have a removable top lens. The default dimensions are 40 x 40 x 200mm, but feel free to adjust them if needed. Just keep in mind that any changes will affect the print sheet and those cool Minecraft torch decals. The Minecraft Torch consists of four parts: the bottom part (the handle), the top part (the "flame"), the fixture ring, and the pusher. Don't worry about the power cord edition; just check out the OpenSCAD source file for more info. Now, let's get to the good stuff! To print these parts, follow these steps: 1. Open the OpenSCAD file in your favorite editor or IDE. 2. Scroll down and find the line where it says PRINTPART = 22. This is where you choose which part to print. Each part is listed in a table above this line, so take a look and see what's available. 3. The table shows what each part is used for: printing exports, test prints, editing, or just showing off your design. Print the three test parts (10, 11, and 12) to make sure everything fits together smoothly. Once you've got that sorted out, it's time to get creative! Modify the OpenSCAD source file to suit your needs. Don't worry if it takes some time; with a little patience, you'll be making custom Minecraft Torches in no time. Here are some notes for printing: * Bottom part: print top-down like it says in the STL output. * Top part: print in vase mode with no infill and an open top. One perimeter line should do the trick. * Fixture ring: don't add support structures; just slow down your machine a bit (30-50mm/s) and keep the layer height at or below 0.2mm. Finally, the wall mount has a slot and a hole at the bottom so you can stick in a Minecraft torch while keeping that cable attached. Easy peasy!
