MOONLIGHT NIGHTLIGHT PLANTER My Entry for the MyMiniMaker 3D Design Competition

myminifactory

This object was created in Tinkercad. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/gDYrpbsuAI I entered the MyMiniFactory Tinkercad 3D Design Competition with a modern day Desk Sized Planter that doubles as a NightLight, which I'm calling MoonLight. After about three dozen design changes and prints, I think this is the final version... for now, at least! It prints in four individual pieces to allow for color customization and design changes. The Flower Pot itself has a honeycomb mesh base plate to prevent soil from clogging the drain hole for excess water. Inside the base, the drip tray, LED Lights, and LED USB controller are housed. The NightLight function is powered by a single standard USB connector that can easily be plugged into any desktop computer, laptop or USB power supply. The LEDs used are typical SMD types found on Amazon; make sure to only use ones with an RF (radio frequency) controller, as the IR type won't work through printed plastic. I really enjoyed designing and making this project, and I hope MyMiniFactory has future competitions like this!
