Draw String Lighthouse
Print Profile(2)
Description
I’ve been thinking about this for a while and couldn’t find any models on 3D printing websites that fit my needs, so I designed this lighthouse. It can be used on all sorts of things that require a pull cord, like window blinds, light switches, or ceiling fans.
It is exactly 3 inches tall and designed specifically for the AMS. It’s very easy to change your stripe colours to get the classic lighthouse look. I also included a 10mm "pocket" at the base so the knot stays hidden inside, which keeps the lighthouse hanging straight and looking clean.
Features:
- 5mm center hole: Fits standard cords and pull chains.
- 10mm hidden recess: Tucks the knot away so it isn't visible at the bottom.
- AMS Optimized: Simple to assign different colours to the stripes and sections.
My Print Settings:
- Supports: None. I designed this to print clean without them.
- Walls: 3-4 loops (makes the cord path much stronger for pulling).
To Install: Thread your cord through the top, tie a knot at the bottom, and pull it back up until the knot is hidden in the base.
