Another Kuchi Kopi Night Light

thingiverse

This is a remix inspired upon a few designs. I liked the design idea from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2552303 but I preferred to make a remixed Kuchi Kopi Lorengrooms Bowtie model and hollowed it out, similar to this remix: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4098068 I included two bases for the light. They have snap-fit base-lids. My first design was a ribbon LED strip that I spiraled around a center column, but I didn't really like how it looked slightly uneven with light distribution inside the model. As a second attempt, I used a scrapped discarded Streamlight 4AA LED Flashlight "bulb" (White LED array) that functioned fine off of 5V DC. One can easily wire a few common 5mm LED's together with some resisters and accomplish the same result. Since it had been suggested to me that the design needed a Top Hat, I printed this one for fun: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:178683
