Christmas Bauble

prusaprinters

<p>Customizable battery powered Christmas tree bauble. Featuring Snowman and illuminating Lamppost.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I've designed to bauble to use as little supports as possible. There are only 2 files that require supports: Top and Bottom. The Lamppost doesn't require supports if printed in an upright (vertical) position. Although, I prefer to print it flat (horizontal) with supports as this gives a much better finish.</p> <p>The GCODE files have been supplied for the Top and Bottom of the bauble. For best results, these are printed on a 2 layer Raft with Supports. I've also included the GCODE for the battery cover as this looks best printed upright (vertical) with a 3-4mm Brim for additional support. Printing the battery cover upright ensures the layers match that of the bauble.</p> <p><strong>Part List</strong></p> <ul> <li>SPDT switch <strong>(optional)</strong></li> <li>CR2032 holder <strong>(optional)</strong></li> <li>220Ω resistor <strong>(optional)</strong></li> <li>3mm LED <strong>(optional)</strong></li> <li>M2 x 8mm <strong>Note: M2-M2.5 dia | 8mm max length</strong></li> <li>Glue</li> </ul> <p><strong>Additional print settings</strong></p> <ul> <li>Top (Raft | Support)</li> <li>Bottom (Raft | Support)</li> <li>Battery cover (Brim)</li> </ul> <p><strong>LED Circuit (Optional)</strong></p> <p>The circuit for the LED in the lamppost couldn't be easier:<br/> <img alt="circuit" height="500" src="https://i.ibb.co/vqGP4Cc/Capture.png" width="500"/></p> <p><strong>Assembly</strong></p> <p>Note: Skip to step 6. if you're not using the led circuit</p> <ol> <li>Glue to CR2032 battery holder into the battery_holder_cap.</li> <li>Glue the battery_holder_cap inside the bottom half of the bauble.</li> <li>Connect wires to the + and - terminals of the LED and glue it into the lamppost.</li> <li>Thread the wires of the lamppost through the center insert.</li> <li>Assemble the circuit like the one shown above.</li> <li>Glue the topper onto the top half of the bauble.</li> <li><strong>Optional</strong> insert the background scene into the provided slot.</li> <li><strong>Optional</strong> insert the snow floor.<br/> Note: To get the snow to flow over the center insert just hold it in place then slightly heat the front.
