Forbidden Watchtower #3DThursday #3DPrinting

kijai shares:

I modeled this after the box art of the tabletop game Forbidden Island.

The tower is hollow so you can add a LED inside, the base has some room for a battery but it’s not specifically designed for any particular setup.

There are files for merged whole model (still hollow) and separated roof options.

Funnily enough a LED tealight could be used upside down like in one of the pictures to make it look like a lighthouse! For that to fit better you should scale the model up a bit and print the flat roof option.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
