Watcher - Horizon: Zero Dawn - LED

thingiverse

This is a remix of the Watcher model created by Gloomeskk. I thought it would be pretty cool to be able to install a light inside of this model to make it more like the watchers in the game. I have modifed all the files except for the legs. These parts have a pathway and holes cut of of them to accomedate wiring. I am a total noob when it comes to 3d models and no idea if these cutouts are large enough. This is a work in progress. I modified the parts in TinkerCAD. I figured it would be easier to do this then to try and cut a path in the parts with a dreml afterwards. The pathways may require support but not sure as I have not printed these yet UPDATE 1 - 1/30/2020 I have printed the head parts and tested fitment with a 5mm LED. There is plenty of room to glue this into place. I am currently printing the neck sections and will work my way down to the body and tail. The head was printed with a .02 nozzle and .08 layers UPDATE 2 - 2/1/2020 I have printed the remainder of the modified sections and the neck, body parts have plenty of room to pass wiring through. The tail section however is way to small. When designing this section i knew it was going to be much smaller in an attempt to make things looks more appealing. I will probably just take a dremel to these parts to make the channel a little deeper. I will eventually update the parts to have a bigger channel UPDATE 3 - 2/5/2020 I have added addtional file for the body section (Left and Right Body Remix 2). These new parts have an path for the wiring to exit this part. This makes the wiring exit the middle of the model vs the end of the tail section. If anyone would like the tail section path enlarged let me know and I can do that. For now im just going to leave the old tail files alone. I have also added some additional pics of the model assembled. I am currenty working on creating a base for the model that will hold the battery pack. It will include modfied parts from https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-grassy-easter-egg-keeper-60247. I liked the stone ring and the grass. The ring has not been modifed but the gass has cutouts for the rabbit and basket. I have modified it to no longer have these voids.
