A christmas tree that is lit up by a small 3mm LED, other hardware is used from a cheap flashlight you can buy at the ACTION. Parts used are the button and the wide spring.
The pot has a print in place knob in it so te click mechanism looks nice.
It is a fairly easy thing to put together and it looks fun!
The christmas tree is inspired by: https://www.printables.com/model/91408-vase-mode-christmas-tree , this model. It has to be printed in vase-mode without bottom layers.
TO ASSEMBLE:
- Bend the wire from the switch so it faces with the metal plat that is on the switch.
- Put the switch in place
- Put the battery in the pot, ‘-’ facing downwards.
- Bend the top part of the spring where it gets narrow so it fits in the hole from the screw cap
- Put the screw cap on and make sure the negative wire is fed trough one of the openings that is in the screw cap
- Tighten the screw cap using the tool wich fits in the 2 rectangular openings.
- Put the LED in the LED-HOLDER and bend the wires and cut them to length
- Put the LED holder with the LED in the openings where you tightend the screw cap with, it is a pressure fit
- Solder the wires from the LED, one to the spring, the other one to te wire coming out from the switch.
- Put the christmas tree on the pot and you are done!
NOTE:
- When the pot is printed you will have to push the knob that is printed with it so it can move, there is a clearance of 0.2mm on each side, for me this was enough.
- The flashlight you need is the one in the last picture, it is cheap and where I live easily obtainable.
