My original spooktober sign, now with a lamp post on the side and a grave stone base.
The lamp is split into 4 parts:
Top cover, glass, LED container, pole base.The main portion fits a 6mm LED perfectly, and the wires run down through the hole, down the pole base, out of the side. They then wrap around into a hole in the side of the gravestone, where the battery is kept.
The glass is printed 4 times, and slides into the main led housing from the top. This is rather a tight tolerant print but came out fine on my prusa mini. Depending on how you want to go about coloring, you can either use plain transparent filament for the glass and a colored LED light, or use a white LED and use colored transparent filament to show color.
The gravestone houses the battery (I used a 23A type battery) and has a slot on the side for a basic switch insert to turn the light on/off. There is a backer panel that slides into place to keep everything inside.
The lamp base just glues onto the side of the pumpkin as the whole unit glues onto the main base to keep everything together.
This is my first project delving into lighting designs with 3d printing and batteries and all of that fun jazz. I think this turned out really neat so sharing it now (albeit a bit late from halloween).
Just as the original, no supports are needed (unless you print a fancier knife standing upright) and everything fits into place as shown.
