Cylindrical Lithophane Motion and Light Sensing Night Light

thingiverse

I made this for my daughter who's going off to her first year of college in the fall. I love the lithophane alone, but wanted to make it unique, self contained and hands off for the most part. I won't go into the details of printing the lithophane, that's a whole separate animal all by itself. Go check out their Thingiverse page and website. https://www.thingiverse.com/lithophanemaker/designs https://lithophanemaker.com/index.html I bought the motion and light sensing LED light on Amazon for $12. I took the case off and screwed the control board right to the top so I didn't have to do much modifying of the board. I did have to solder on a dongle LED connector, but that was it. This not the final design, just what I got to work first time around. Next time I will correct some things that I want to do different; slightly taller and thicker top, better joints between pieces, etc. I made one for my wife and used the USB powered LED strip with an in-line switch since she'll have it at her desk and can plug it into her PC.
