Print Profile(7)
Description
Cape Canaveral, July 16, 1969
…10, 9, ignition sequence starts…6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, zero, all engine running…
LIFT-OFF! We have a lift-off, 32 minutes past the hour. Lift-off on Apollo 11
This is how man's adventure on the moon began, today we celebrate it with a fun gadget!
A lamp, approximately 14" tall (36 cm), with the shape of the Saturn V Rocket and the cloud of smoke it releases upon departure.
And, a simple 50 cm LED strip, it is enough to illuminate the cloud of smoke and make the effect realistic!
What are you going to print:
- In white PLA print the cloud of smoke, the print profile already contains the best filling to allow more light to pass through.
- Print the Saturn V in two parts, the base and the top. The profile includes a higher print resolution for the tip. Given the small size of the rocket, I have not included a multi-color (black and white) print profile. But if you create it and want to share it, it's welcome!
- Print the triangular joint to lock the base with the top of the rocket in the correct position.
- Print the base, choose the color you prefer. The profile already includes supports.
- Print the label. I paused the printer at level 24, changed the color and printed the white text, so as to stand out against the color of the label.
How to assemble (Instruction sheet attached):
1. Remove the supports from the base.
2. If you have a 50 cm LED strip, insert it into the hole at the base of the cone, lock the USB cable in the space provided at the base and wrap the strip around the cone up to the tip, gluing it.
3. Remove the supports and slide the cloud over the base, the guide will hold it in place.
4. Gently remove the supports at the base of the rocket, be careful with the motors as they are very small.
5. At the top of the rocket base you will find a triangular hollow, insert a drop of glue and insert the triangular guide. Check the position before inserting the tip of the rocket, I recommend using a little glue here too.
6. The base of the motors fits into the tip of the smoke cloud, if you prefer to make it more stable, use a little glue here too.
Everything was printed with basic PLA.
Have fun printing and assembling this lamp, don't forget to comment below with the photo of your rocket!
