ππ Maker Style: Detailed & Technical A bit of Christmas cozy mixed with maker magic β¨ Designed and 3D-printed these lanterns, each housing a 50-LED color string powered by two AA batteries. The top works as the on/off mechanism, and the front panels are personalized with custom text. Love turning small ideas into functional projects ππ§ Assembly Instructions All parts of the lantern are 3D printed individually and are assembled in the following order: Start with the base Start by gluing the base and the four corner posts together. Use superglue for a strong and quick bond. Insert the βwindowβ panels Once the posts are in place, insert the printed glass sides into the grooves on the posts. Make sure each side slides all the way down and is seated correctly. Assemble the Top Once all panels are in place, apply a little superglue to the top of the posts. Carefully place the top down and press it completely into place. If necessary, place something heavy on top while it dries. Prepare the LED string lights While the glue is drying, wrap the LED string lights around the battery box so that it is compact and easy to place. Insert the string lights Place the wrapped battery box into the top of the lantern. Final step Turn on the Led chain and Screw on the top cap.
