Trunk for Smiling Owl night light

prusaprinters

<p>Printed a pink Smiling Owl (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1320992">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1320992</a>) for my wife that looked like it would make a good night light. So, I took this cool Trunk Planter for a cactus (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:292837">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:292837</a>), modified it to fit an LED lamp from Ikea (<a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50302670/">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50302670/</a>), and further modified it to tightly hold on to the Smiling Owl. Voila! Pink reading light. It's much too bright for a night light. A lower wattage LED, or variable brightness LED, would make it better for a night light. Still, looks great and my wife is happy. I also painted the stump to highlight some details.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Decor Summary</h3> <p>Printed a pink Smiling Owl (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1320992">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1320992</a>) for my wife that looked like it would make a good night light.
