OpenForge 2.0 Stone Torch Walls

thingiverse

Human: A simplified version of Devon Jones's Torch Wall for the OpenForge 2.0 System. I wanted a super simple version that could use wired LED lights. This won't work with tea lights - you need to buy LEDs for this. To Assemble: 1. Print one of each: wall, sconce, magnetic base. You can see more on how to construct the magnetic bases on the OpenForge github: https://github.com/devonjones/openforge-tutorials/blob/master/README.md 2. Choose your light. For mine, I used 1.8mm orange flickering LEDs from Evan Designs: https://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/collections/hobby-leds/products/flickering-led 3. Choose your battery. I used the small coin cell battery: https://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/collections/wire-switch-more/products/small-coin-cell-holder-with-separate-switch You will also need some shrink tubing: https://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/collections/wire-switch-more/products/shrink-tube (Tip: Test your LED works before inserting it. Connect the black to black, and red to red wires from your LED to your battery. Make sure the switch is "on".) 4. Make sure the inside of the Sconce/Torch is clear of any threading from your printer. I found a few strands crossed the hole. Then insert your LED, wires first, through the hole in the Sconce. You may need to squeeze the resistor together to make it fit. Then, press firmly until your LED is tightly held within the brazier end. (Tips: You can snip off the bulb end on the LED to scatter the light more. To make it torchlike, use a tiny dab of hot glue or white caulking on the end and use a pin to shape it. To lower the brightness of the torch, paint it with some acrylic paint. The more layers you use, the dimmer it will become.) 5. Feed the red and black wires into the hole in the wall. This is large enough to fit the wires, but you may need to slide them through one at a time. 6. Underneath the floor, the wires will now be peeking out. Wind together red to red from your LED to battery, and black to black wires - using the shrink tubing to hold them together. 7. Glue your magnetic base to your wall, as per OpenForge 2.0 instructions (inserting ball bearing magnets). Glue your battery case and the switch to the gap under the floor. Or you might want to use blutak to hold it lightly in place. Done! Big thanks to Devon Jones for this whole OpenForge system.
