Description

SummaryThis is a remix. I wanted to make it battery powered (not USB), so I modified the base to hold a battery pack and wired in a switch. Instead of purchasing an acrylic rod, I decided to print my own. I decided to make it 10mm x 110 mm and hollow (think of a plastic straw). The name plate "I Want To Believe" was printed using multi-color layers (black & white). I ended up using sheep (instead of a cow like I wanted) because the cow was too big for the model. No matter, my wife is very happy with it (she is the UFO fanatic!) and she can't wait to take it to work to show it off. Here is a link to all of the parts I used/purchased from Amazon: Rod filament: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VKSVMOY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Battery Pack: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0156U82JY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 LEDs: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004UZCADG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Microswitch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DFYT0Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The plastic sheep, tree, and "grass" I purchased from my local Michaels' hobby store.Print SettingsPrinter: Hictop Prusa i3Rafts: YesSupports: YesResolution: 2Infill: 20%Notes: Rod - 0% infill with raft (the only part I used a raft on).
