UFO - I Want To Believe

cults3d

I created a remix of the original project to make it battery powered instead of relying on a USB connection. To achieve this, I modified the base to accommodate a battery pack and installed a switch. To avoid purchasing an acrylic rod, I decided to design and print one myself using 3D printing technology. The dimensions I chose were 10mm x 110 mm with a hollow interior, resembling a plastic straw in shape and size. The name plate "I Want To Believe" was printed using multi-color layering techniques, resulting in a black and white design that stands out. Initially, I had wanted to use a cow as the model, but it was too large for my design. Fortunately, my wife is thrilled with the sheep model instead, and she can't wait to display it at work, where she will be the envy of her colleagues due to her UFO fascination. Here are the links to all the parts I used, which were purchased from Amazon: Rod filament: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VKSVMOY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Battery Pack: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0156U82JY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 LEDs: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004UZCADG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Microswitch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DFYT0Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The plastic sheep, tree, and "grass" were purchased from my local Michaels' hobby store.
