Moon Globe Night Light by mcandrewji

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Please note The original "diffuser" component file had a scaling issue, has been replaced with "diffuserB" which should scale properly. The diffuser should be 15mm in diameter.
My Moon Globe is a compilation of the best parts of the following merged in a way that makes it unique and I hope a little more user friendly. In addition, my build uses a LED module with remote control for colour choice brightness and fade effects. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/232434506112 Circuit Board USB Remote Control 16-Color DIY 3D Printing Moon Light Night TE783 or similar. I have added a diffuser cap for the LED module to scatter the light a bit more evenly for I think better effect. You may need, to lightly scrape parts for better fit for final assembly. The light module slides into the base/cap holder at the center gently turn for snug fit once in place. The base cap threads nicely into the globe threaded collar it allows disassembly to service light module if need be. Connect the battery lead, charge the module. You can turn it on by touching the metal collar of the charge port or better use the convenient IR remote set on base of your choice and enjoy the fruits of the work.
