Transform your space with this easy to print Lighthouse DIY Kit – the perfect fusion of aesthetics and functionality! Whether you're seeking an eye-catching shelf decor piece or a charming night lamp for your child's room(or yourself), this 3D-printable lighthouse model has you covered.
It's designed for simplicity, making the printing process a breeze. I've thoughtfully divided the entire model into easily printable pieces, with only one requiring minimal supports (the Rock piece, which includes an electronic hole in the back). Plus, to make your printing experience even smoother, each part is labeled with the recommended filament color.
But here's where the magic truly happens: you have the power to add an enchanting touch with a DIY electronic circuit, powered by USB-C. With just a few components and step-by-step photo instructions, you can control the brightness with a potentiometer and switch it on or off at your convenience. And don't worry in case of any questions I will try to answer them ASAP
Electronic parts you need:
-USB-C on a PCB
-5mm LED of your choice (warm white/yellow recomended)
-Resistor for LED of your choice ( you can use this website to help you find a perfect value https://www.digikey.pl/en/resources/conversion-calculators/conversion-calculator-led-series-resistor)
-7X7mm switch
-330 Ohm potentiometer
-Piece of PCB (not that necessary since components fit tightly into plate so they can be glued into place without PCB, just make sure wire connections are correct)
-Some wires
-Not 100% necessary but a small <1A fuse could be useful, especially if you are planning to power it from a PC or Laptop
After soldering everyhing make sure it works before puting it into Lighthouse.
3D printing tips
Every part is labeled with suggested color (but feel free to experiment with colors and make your own unique Lighthouse).
Suports are only needen for first 3cm of Rock due to electronic compartment so whole 3D printing process should be super easy.
