Description

My entry for the sandbox game contest!

A floating island night light with waterfalls and lakes that light up!

 

If you like this design, and love The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.. check out my latest entry for the Game of the '90s contest: “ALTTP Master Sword Pedestal Night Light”!

 

 

Building process:

 

For easier assembly, follow these steps in order:

  1. Attach the "bottom middle" to the "bottom outside" (8 screws).
  2. Insert the LED strip into the square hole.
  3. Thread the LED strip through the middle of the "bottom bottom" via the square hole and wrap it around, but without installing it just yet.
  4. Pass the LED strip through the large opening of the "water" piece.
  5. Install the "water" piece (4 screws).
  6. Thread the LED strip through the large waterfall of the "island water" piece.
  7. Assemble the "island top" and "island bottom" (2 screws).
  8. Thread the LED strip (which exits from the top of the large waterfall of the "island water" piece) so it passes through the small lake and descends through the small waterfall of the "island water" piece.
  9. Install the floating island on the "island water" (2 screws).
  10. Cut off any excess LED strip.
  11. Attach the bottom of the two waterfalls into the holes of the "water" piece (3 screws).
  12. Install the "bottom bottom" (4 screws).
  13. Glue the "tree bottom" to the "tree branch".
  14. Glue the complete tree to the floating island (note: do not glue between the tree trunk and "island water", so you can remove the waterfall later if needed).

Hardware needed:

Tips:

  1. The tolerance is very tight; I haven't tried it with anything other than PLA, so proceed at your own risk!
  2. The design ensures that all "top" surfaces (grass, water) are printed facing the plate, to benefit from the textured PEI surface.
  3. The design ensures that the support interfaces are not visible once assembly is complete, but if you have support material it's recommended but not mandatory.
  4. The design is split into many pieces to allow printing the various parts with more than one machine at the same time.
  5. There is two kinds of tree branch in the print profile: one that uses gyroid infills as leaves, the other that uses fuzzy skin; choose your favorite!

Replying to @user4798048 :
I turned the led strip slightly and programmed it so that it flickers in different brightness.

Great print profile. Used PETG for the water to give it extra strength

Turned out great. The profile didn’t default to gyroidal infill for the tree leaves, but that was an easy fix. Also, I thought from the supply list that 20 screws would mean that every hole designated for a screw would be filled. Nope, there’s 23 screw holes. Buy 2 packs of 20 and you’ll be set. Otherwise, you can rob a few from the bottom middle/outside since it has more than enough to keep the pieces together. Finally, I ended up using 2’ of LED strip which gave plenty of length to work with. Thanks to the designer for this cool build.

Love it, nice design, most screws are not needed. Sadly I got a imperfection on the water (PETG) so I had to cover it up with https://makerworld.com/en/models/373003#profileId-272995 but now I like it even more and maybe I'll add more animals.
