NASA Moon Lamp With Tealights

Moon lamp with 3.6cm (diameter) hole for a tealight. We designed this using NASA CGI Moon Kit: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/details.cgi?aid=4720

For this project you will need:

1. Tealight
2. SuperGlue
3. Soldering kit (If you want to change LED to your specific color)
4. High brightness LEDs that arefoggy on top. Normal LEDs don't shine as much as it is needed. Also smaller diameter of these lights shine brighter! - try using 3mm diameter ones. They need to be foggy on top so the light is equally scattered and not centered on top.
5. Battery CR 2032

Important:

• Try to print this without any supports since removing them can be much more difficult and can hurt the entire print. The moon is only a little brittle at the top. As long as it does not fall directly on top part it should stay intact.
• The hole is exactly 3.6 cm in diameter for a tealight to be placed inside. Strip the tealight so only LED is visible - no need for flame cover. If the tealight has a chip inside you should remove it as that chip makes the light flicker.

• Once you insert tealight inside, open superglue or any kind of strong glue. Place the glue between tealight and moon hole. Turn the whole moon upside down till glue hardens. Keep glue away from switch or any kind of circuits as it will damage it.
• Place battery CR 2032 inside and enjoy! I made already 16 of them. My friends love them. I don't know why somebody wanted blue one.
