Single LED ball sphere remix

thingiverse

Here is a "downsized" remix of the dual LED sphere/ball, tailored to my wife's request for a single LED version and mine as well. This time around, I'm using the multicolour LED from those Chinese garden lights that didn't even last a season. The top and lower half of the sphere must be made from the same model, without any mirroring involved. Regardless of the effort put in, the leads of the LED need to be carefully bent to avoid making a short circuit. Changes were made as follows: - The diameter of the threaded part has been resized to 25.5mm. - The center part had the useless hollowed-out section removed. - Two reservoirs have been added for holding the LED when the thing is not in use. - A filler piece can be inserted instead of the second LED to fill the gap. Boys, make it work! It's not all about fancy design. Changes were also made: - The cave for the cell coin follows the shape of the CR2032 battery now. - If you're missing the polarity aid (+ / - sign), don't worry; if the LED doesn't light up, just reverse the polarity. It's pretty simple and straightforward. Anyway, a ball is a ball is a ball, and I found the best detailed sphere I could till today. Thx. The files involved are: - repaired sphere - modified center part with thread holding the battery and the LED - spacer - modified sphere part with cutouts made from a series of rings.
