Not a video. Poundland globe crystal fix
Added 2021-09-22 20:30:04 +0000 UTCThe Poundland "vintage solar globe" has a rubbish fake filament light guide that doesn't work.
This script will print a crystal that bayonet caps on in place of the original.
Not sure if the double line-space that Patreon puts in will mess the script up or not.
//Poundland solar-globe inner crystal
$fn=8;
difference(){
union(){
//locking strip
translate([-12,-2.5,0])
cube([24,5,1.7]);
//base cylinder
cylinder(h=4,d=12.5);
//lower crystal section
translate([0,0,4])
cylinder(h=12.5,d1=12.5,d2=25);
//upper crystal section
translate([0,0,16.5])
cylinder(h=75,d1=25,d2=10);
//crystal cap
translate([0,0,91.5])
cylinder(h=5,d1=10,d2=4);
}
//base cylinder
cylinder(h=4,d=10.5);
//lower crystal section
translate([0,0,4])
cylinder(h=12.5,d1=10.5,d2=23);
//upper crystal section
translate([0,0,16.5])
cylinder(h=75,d1=23,d2=8);
//crystal cap
translate([0,0,91.5])
cylinder(h=5,d1=8,d2=2);
//x-ray cube
//translate([-50,-100,-1])
//cube([100,100,100]);
}
Comments
It renders and slices better if the voids overlap a teeny bit... //base cylinder translate([0,0,-0.01]) cylinder(h=4.02,d=10.5); //lower crystal section translate([0,0,4]) cylinder(h=12.51,d1=10.5,d2=23); 1/50th of a mm change doesn't change the model, but the fast render doesn't have ghost walls, and slicer less likely to complain about non-manifold models.

2021-09-23 03:59:58 +0000 UTCI really should set up a github page.

2021-09-23 03:59:23 +0000 UTCI too must get myself a 3-D Printer, after I've cleared a place to put it. At least A3 flat bed Pen Plotters can be mounted flush to a wall.

2021-09-23 02:18:08 +0000 UTCLooks very Gothic now. A big difference.
2021-09-23 01:21:05 +0000 UTCYes much much better. Clive, if I hit one of our dollar stores and find anything interesting should I see if you might want a poke at it or is it not worth it?

2021-09-22 21:13:44 +0000 UTCThe script runs fine
2021-09-22 20:49:40 +0000 UTCDamn I need to get a 3-D printer! Looks great a lot better than beforeβ¦
2021-09-22 20:47:12 +0000 UTCThat looks really cool. We don't have Poundland here, but if the Dollar Tree has those lights I'll definitely pick up a few and print your upgrade!
2021-09-22 20:44:29 +0000 UTCCheers!
