Nightmare before christmas lithophane

thingiverse

I used https://lithophanemaker.com/ to design the lithophane parts, the base and top i designed in tinkercad. For the led light i picked up one of these ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/DSYJ-Round-Magnetic-Integral-Magnet/dp/B00LN3FNKK ) round flashlights from the local dollar store and gutted it. I used the led, the switch and the battery terminals from it. I printed the lithophane parts with glow in the dark pla at 100% infill. The base i printed with standard pla at 20% infill with supports at 80 degrees overhang. The battery tray i printed out of petg at 100% infill with supports at 50 degrees overhang (pla can be used for the battery tray). The feet are optional, i printed them out of TPU at 40% infill. I also made an optional lense that i printed with colored transparent petg at 100% infill, i fount that the led's were a bit bright and the lense took care of that. I glued the top, body, base and battery tray together with clear epoxy. I trimmed and put the battery terminals into the battery tray then soldered it to the led and the switch (you will need some soldering skills to make this). I used the screws from the flashlight i gutted to attach the bottom plate and the battery door. At some point i might make the base more ornate.
