Scale’ish model of the Launch Pad from Fortnite.

The center acts as a pressure switch that will turn on the lights when there is weight applied.   Perfect for holding a cold drink while you play.  There is also a normal switch so that it can be turned on w/o needing a weight.  I will probably cover the bottom at some point, but kind of like that the lights hit the desk too.

Print Settings

Rafts:                          

No

Supports:                          

Yes

Notes:

Printed the rigid parts at 20% infill and .20 thickness resolution.  Flex parts I print at 50% infill and .1 thickness resolution.

NOTE: This is not a print and go model.  There is a bit of post print work to get everything put together.

You will need:
1 - CenterBase
4 - CenterBaseStopBlock
1 - CenterBlackFlex
2 - InnerRingBlueFlex
2 - InnerRingClips

4 - LegBase
8 - LegBearing
4 - LegBlackFlexBoot

Post-Printing

Other items I used

Small hex screws that hold the legs on.  I used the bearing to pre-drill the holes into the LegWell.

See picture for how I wired:
12 LEDs
9 volt battery and clip
Switch

CA Glue - I used to Mount the RingClearWindow’s, the red wire, and to attach the LegBlackFlexBoot to the LegBase.

Note: I used a heat gun to warm the boots to get them to slide over the leg assembly.  This took some practice to get right.
