Ghost // Destiny #3DThursday #3DPrinting
by Stephanie
Print and paint this Ghost to remember that time you and a few friends destroyed a machine god in his own home with all his friends watching. Leave it on your desk at work to act as your own private LFG hub.
I used the battery/switch assembly from an electric tea light to make the eye glow. 6mm diameter magnets were used to allow the shells to be separated to turn on/off the light or rotate the shells.
All parts were printed on a Form 2 at 50μm in Gray resin except ‘Eye’, which was printed in Clear with a few drops of Castable for blue color and glow-in-the-dark powder.
If you’re using a resin-based printer, note the locations of ventilation holes!
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
