Description

There are a few different ways you can print this, depending on if you want to purchase additional parts.
All Prints form fit and print without supports.
Fusion 360 files included.

C (T-Virus Canister, fully printed, no tube, no lights/electronics):
Print: Helix x 2, Top Cap, Bottom Cap Lid, Bottom Cap
Notes: This is as easy as it gets, print the parts, put them together, and done. Looks a little weird without the tube tho. I used all Bambu filament. Silver for the top/bottom, red/white matte for the logo, and transparent blue for the helix.

B (T-Virus Canister, with tube, no lights/electronics):
Print: Helix x 2, Top Cap, Bottom Cap Lid, Bottom Cap
Buy: Acrylic/Glass Pipe (76mm ID, 80mm OD, 200mm length) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09D7VCMPX/
Notes: Now it's looking like a T-Virus Canister! Tube should just push into place. I suggest putting the helix into either the top or bottom cap first, then the tube on, then the other cap on, with a little bit of twisting you should be able to get the helix to pop into place.

A (T-Virus Canister, with tube, lights, no wireless, no charging):
Print: Helix x 2, Top Cap, Bottom Cap Lid, Bottom Cap
Buy:
Acrylic/Glass Pipe (76mm ID, 80mm OD, 200mm length) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09D7VCMPX/
EL Wire https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RDQPH6K/
Notes: You'll want to fold your EL wire and push it through the Bottom cap, up each Helix. You should be able to fix the battery/button part in the cap, but if you can't, just break it out of the plastic container and then you can fiddle with it till it fits. Now your helix glows! But you have to open the cap to turn it on and off, and keep replacing batteries.

S (T-Virus Canister, with tube, lights, custom battery, no charging):
Print: Helix x 2, Top Cap, Bottom Cap Lid, Bottom Cap, Battery Holder
Buy:

EL Wire https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RDQPH6K/
Notes: This is where things start to get at little complicated. You can forgo the battery holder (or make your own) and get whatever battery you want. You are going to want to bust open the EL wire controller, desolder the battery that comes with it, and use your own. The battery holder is nice cause it will hold an 18350 and the EL wire controller circuit. I get about 8 hours of run time out of the 18350.

Notes: Now things are getting fun. With the TP4056 wired in, you can charge your custom battery with USB-C. It will fit nicely in the battery holder. You will have to still take the cap off to charge it.

Notes: This is it, the whole thing coming together. The wireless transmitter will fit right into the base, and the top will fit right on it. Bonus, this is a regular QI charger, so you can charge your phone or anything else on it. The Bottom Cap lid is thin enough you can stick the receiver on it, then put the battery hold on top of it. Now you can leave your T-Virus canister on 24/7, and pick it right up and walk around with it like a portable lamp! Will last about 8 hours before you need to put it back on the charger.
