Description

Welcome back guys!

 

I have played with the KC016 etc. kits for a while, I really love these tiny LEDs that can be activated with a magnet. I came up with the idea to make a glowing radioactive cartridge, so here it is!

 

What do you need?

Only thing beside filament ist the KC016 single LED with magnetic switch for about 2 bucks.

 

Printing

Printing is easy if you just use my print profile. I used 4 colors:

  • PLA+ SILK Silver
  • black & yellow PLA for the logo
  • Glow in the dark PLA for the inlay.

Settings are pretty easy, watch the following:

  • arachne wall mode
  • 0.12mm layer height for better details
  • I personally put all party on one plate and then hit “slice per object”, so I don't wast much filament on the color changes but can print everything at once
  • Only tha base is better printed with tree supports because these cylindric overhangs are almost impossible to bridge perfectly.

Assembly

Assembling is easy, just watch my video:

 

  1. Put the KC016 glowing LED with the LED up into the base.
  2. Put the inlay on top.
  3. Screw on the top part (it has tiny threads)
  4. pull the handle a bit apart so you can stick its ends into the holes on the top part.

Finished! Have fun, please leave your feedback in the comments.

These are really neat! I did have a few minor issues though, I had to scale these up slightly (%102) and then everything fit nicely.

Scaled the glowing part to 98% and now cool. Still need to solve the extra hole (where I didn't put the LED, so the luminescent part is falling there deeper), but looks cool already

Nah, can't insert the inner "glowing" part into the outer one. Too tight.

Oh no, you sure have the tiniest LED? Maybe the print ist not perfectly clean, have you tried carving a bit off from the inner hole with a knife?

Replying to @DIYWizard :
It's not about the led, it's about the inner cylinder. I wanted to do it with luminescent PLA instead of using the LED. Sure there are many factors may affect that, just left the comment to let you know and will do more attempts with maybe even different PLA
