Kyber Crystal Display

thingiverse

I designed these parts after seeing a few posts on Reddit where people are using small LED lanterns to display spare kyber crystals from Savis Workshop at Galaxy's Edge. You can get these lanterns from places like Harbor Freight or Amazon. <b><u>Parts List:</b></u> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.harborfreight.com/lighting/flashlights/lanterns/250-lumen-compact-pop-up-lantern-64110.html">Luminar Outdoor Lantern</a> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KPVPTY6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">Submersible Led Lights</a> <li><a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Nashua-Tape-1-89-in-x-50-yd-322-Multi-Purpose-HVAC-Foil-Tape-1207792/100030120">HVAC Foil Tape</a> <li>Small screwdriver <li>Side nippers <li>Black paint <li>Paint of your choosing for the main body. </ul> <b><u>Instructions:</b></u> YMMV as I don't know if all of the lanterns are of similar dimension and construction but they ought to be pretty close. <ul> <li>Print with rafts, but no supports, 15% infill, or more if you want it to be more opaque. <li><b><u>To help contain light bleed:</b></u> <ul> <li>Paint the bottom of the main part with a couple of coats of black paint. <li>Add a couple layers of HVAC Foil Tape to the bottom. </ul> <li>Trim the appropriate number of holes out of the tape for the number of crystals you want to display. <li>Disassemble the lantern, and discard all of the parts except for the main body, threaded bottom cap, top two pieces (top containing the nut, and threaded top cover), clear plastic lens, and nut/bolt. You do not need to keep any of the LED's, electronics, or reflective top and bottom surfaces. <li>Remove about 1/2" of each of the 4 threaded tubes from the bottom of the inside of the lantern body. <li>Insert the main Kyber Crystal Display Part #1, and slide to the top of the lantern body. <li>Install Kyber Crystal Display Part #2 onto the main shaft of Part #1. <li>Measure the length of your Kyber crystals and glue Part #2 in place on the main shaft. <li>This should provide a little spring tension in order to keep the Kyber crystals in place. <li>Install the clear lens. <li>Reassemble the lantern. <li>Remove the bottom threaded portion of the LED. This makes it too thick to fit inside the lantern body without causing a gap when the lantern is closed. <li>Insert the LED into the bottom of the lantern, and screw the base on. <li>Power on and enjoy. </ul> <b><u>Optional:</b></u> If you want, you can remove and discard the metal handles from the top of the lantern, then print out 4 of the Kyber Crystal Display Part #3, and glue them in place to cover up the holes.
