Om Nom Lamp, cut the rope candy LED light

thingiverse

My kid is Om Nom's number one fan, so I created a night light just for her! As it turns out, this thing is pretty bright, which makes it perfect for supplementing story time. MATERIALS: * Translucent PLA in Yellow - https://amzn.to/2N32u04 * Translucent PLA in Yellow - https://amzn.to/37VF30L * LED Module - https://amzn.to/2SYHHOZ * Nail Polish (Set) - https://amzn.to/2N6UVVZ I hand-painted this with cheap nail polish that adheres well to PLA. Apply two coats of white so the light doesn't seep through the eyes and make it look ridiculous. I printed the parts in green and yellow, then painted them black and red. The candy has raised edges where the stripes go to guide painting. The candy is superglued to the Om Nom, which was designed with clearance so they fit together perfectly! Print the candy without supports, but print the Omnom WITH supports and around 20 solid top layers plus 10% gyroid infill. We want some light to pass through, but it has to be diffuse and not overpower the character. The lower shell of the USB LED light is discarded, but we keep the domed diffuser. I didn't provide any instructions because it's as simple as it looks from my photos. Just zip-tie the cable to the LED for a strain relief, then glue in the LED disc (super glue, not hot glue since LEDs can get warm). Next, glue on the dome diffuser, and finally, glue the entire assembly into the back of the candy.
