Tiny Lantern

thingiverse

This is a compact lantern with LED lighting. Perfect for adding some festive cheer to these chilly months! There are three different versions of this, one powered by 3x AAA batteries, one powered by a lithium battery and one with a removable base for small LED candles. The lantern measures approximately 130x70x70mm. The assembling process of the AAA-powered version is detailed in the video. If you want to make the lithium version, it's mostly the same process except there are a few different parts that are packed separately in a zip-folder. You'll also need to run some additional cables as there's a charging module to connect as well. The easiest way would be to attach the LEDs ground wire directly to the charging module at the bottom of the lantern, this way you only have to run five wires to the top. Three in one cable duct GND, I/O for the LED, and VCC to the sensor. Two in the other duct, VCC and GND for the battery (see the schematics above). The models have two ducts for running wires from the bottom to the top. To build the AAA-battery model you will need: * 3xAAA batteries * 1x TTP223 touch sensor * 1x LED candle * 1x resistor (if needed) * Thin wiring * 1x ball point pen cut into three pieces * 2x thin pieces of metal 7x15mm * 2x thin pieces of metal 7x29mm To build the Lithium-battery model you will need: * 1x lithium battery (I used an 8x35x53mm battery, so that's the maximum size) * 1x TP4056 Charging module * 1x TTP223 Touch sensor * 1x LED candle * 1x resistor (if needed) * Thin wiring https://youtu.be/fVLoNfvngrk
