Multi color vase

thingiverse

If you enjoy playing with vibrant colors and mood-enhancing moods, this exquisite vase may be perfect for you. The vase is designed as two separate components that can be easily assembled using a strong adhesive, making it simple to print in various colors or as a single piece only. A clever feature of the vase's design is its base, which provides a convenient space for a rechargeable battery-powered light source. If you decide to opt out of battery power, you can easily convert the lamp to use a 4.5V socket supply by utilizing a small hardware hack. The base has been thoughtfully prepared with a cable slot to facilitate this conversion. The lamps themselves are technically waterproof, but I chose to place them outdoors for easier handling. Who wants to fish them out of soggy flower pot water? Additionally, the lamps will lose their waterproof properties once converted to use a cable supply. However, if you decide to opt for a transparent vase, it won't be a problem to control the lights using the included IR controller without having to lift the vase. In my case, I was even able to control some random functions of my HDD receiver. The project and the illumination design were inspired by the innovative work of user drato: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1691927 You can purchase these lamps at various online retailers, such as: * https://www.amazon.com/Soondar%C2%AE-Submersible-Waterproof-Wedding-Controller/dp/B00NUYM1ZA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469616131&sr=8-1&keywords=soondar+led * https://www.amazon.de/Soondar%C2%AE-Wasserdicht-Treffen-Weihnachtsgeschenke-Schwimmleuchte/dp/B017AUFLAQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1469616105&sr=8-2&keywords=soondar+led For detailed instructions on converting the LED spots, please visit my instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/Mood-Vase-1/step3/Fuel-change/ **Print Settings** * **Printer Brand:** RepRap * **Printer:** Prusa i3 * **Rafts:** Doesn't Matter * **Supports:** No * **Resolution:** 0.28 * **Infill:** 20% * **Notes:** I highly recommend using transparent and neutral PETG for the vase, as it works well with UHU PLUS ACRYLIT adhesive.
