Saw a much larger version of this at a museum a while back and finally decided to make one for myself. I was surprised that no one had designed one yet (at least that I found). This is the revised STL. I printed one instance already and adjusted the files with things I learned from that. I used https://ift.tt/2UomCwr for the sand holder. I scaled it to 66% of normal and it’s great for this model. The model as a whole I had to scale to 93% because I didn’t properly factor in some things and the top was over my printer’s max volume. After printing both pieces I glued the top onto the 4 towers. Be aware that the top is best printed upside down for the most smooth surface and for eliminating supports.
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!
