Green Lantern's Lantern/Battery (Variant)

thingiverse

This design is a variant of Green Lantern's lantern. It was designed to include some of the features which are found in the lantern variation available in the Injustice 2 video game, from which I drew much of the inspiration. Assembled at 1:1 scale the lantern measures about 15.5" (~39.5cm) tall, 11.5" (~29cm) wide and 9" (~23cm) deep. The images show the lantern printed in a 1:1 scale with glow-in-the-dark filament. Opaque filaments will work as well but will not be as satisfying IMO. The lantern has been designed to also serve as a costume prop so the handle shaft can swivel, although delicately. The shaft has holes for the handle locking pins on the inside of the lantern to allow for keeping the handle upright when used as a regular lamp. I used green LED lights to wrap around the LED cylinder. These particular LEDs require a 12 volt power supply which does not come with the product. I used these LEDs because I already have a 12 volt battery pack which fits the power input plug (so that it can be used while being mobile). https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HRMP46S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (Water-resistance IP65, 12V Waterproof Flexible LED Strip Light, 16.4ft/5m Cuttable LED Light Strips, 300 Units 3528 LEDs Lighting String, LED Tape(Green)) Nylon screws were used to assemble the lantern in addition to hot glue for the bezel pieces, shrouds, diffusers and base/LED cylinder. Note that I purposely did not design a hole/conduit for the LED cord since my primary use is anticipated to be mobile. A hole can easily be drilled in the base if so desired to accommodate the cord issue. Because I already had the screws I do not know their type but it appears they can be found on Amazon.com. They are approximately 1" (25.4cm) long, 0.1" (~2.54cm) screw diameter and 0.23" (~5.85cm) screw head diameter. Nylon screws were used because they blend in with the glow filament but also because they can easily be cut/clipped to size. The handle pieces and the shaft couplings require shorter screws than the shaft pieces. https://www.amazon.com/Machine-Finish-Binding-Slotted-Threads/dp/B00DD4CQCA To properly diffuse the light from the LEDs I glued wax paper on the back of the diffusers as shown in the images.
