Moon/Gem Lithophane Staff

prusaprinters

PLEASE NOTE: If you have a single extruder printer (or a bambu labs) use the file "moon_gems_merged". There are separate files for the moon and the gems for those with duel extruder printers. You will need to assign different material to each part and can merge the parts together in Cura to be printed on top of one another.  The lithophane moon/crystal diffuser is designed to thread onto the heatsink of a Streamlight HL4 flashlight. Remove the facecap/optic and then thread on the diffuser. On the staff, there is a hollowed out the top section with the correct diameter of the flashlights handle for it to slide into. There is a little cylindrical boss at the bottom center of that cored out section that is concentric to the flashlights switch. For best results put a spring inside the bore of the staff (around the extrusion mentioned above). Give it a tap on the ground and the spring compresses which makes the extruded boss hit the switch and turns on the staff!Filament used for the moon: https://www.matterhackers.com/store/l/fillamentum-pla/sk/MHQ43HV6 Filament used for crystals: https://www.matterhackers.com/store/l/fillamentum-pla-crystal-clear-filament/sk/MRL5GC5V Here is a video of it in action. https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/ypu5rd/a_moon_staff_that_i_made_for_my_renaissance_faire/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
