Keep in mind what the length is of the bolts your using, you don't want your bolts creating any problems with how much room you have inside the barrel for the LED. ![]() The thickness of the wood you're using doesn't really matter for the base ,but the appendages on which the actual spotlight will be bolted on to does. The wooden base I had laser cut had a thickness of 3 mm, while the appendages and the fitting had a thickness of 6 mm. You'll be cutting the triplex into 3 different components: the base, the two appendages and the fitting for the LED. Just like the previous step, you'll have to follow the instructions on your laser cutter to cut the components. I also used a soledering iron to connect the electric wiring to the LED. I used Adobe Illustrator (you can also use Inkscape) to create my components for the laser cutter and Tinkercad for my 3D printed components. IMPORTANT: For this instuctable you will need specific machines: a 3D Printer and a laser cutter, so sorry for the people who don't have those. Besides acryll is cheaper than real glass. I didn't want to use glass because that can break easily and then I would have to replace it everytime it breaks. This way the light rays would reflect from the foil, resulting in having a better (brighter and sharper) image of my batsymbol projected on my wall.įor the lens I decided to use plexiglass (acryl) because I wanted the lens to be light and durable (and of course it had to be transparant). I decided I would line the inside of the barrel with aluminium foil. Making the barrel out of a PVC tube saves me money and a lot of time. I first wanted to 3D print the barrel but that would take me about 7 hours and it would cost me much more money. This way you can change the direction of the lightbeam. I used bolts, so it could act like a hinge. The barrel itself is made out of a PVC tube. And making a build that doesn't cost a lot of money is must have (like described in the MoSCoW list in the next step). Using metals (iron, copper, aluminium) would make a stronger frame, but it would would make the build a lot more expensive. Another reason I chose wood is because it is a very cheap material to use/buy. I made the frame (base, fitting and appendages) out of wood because I wanted something strong that would hold together the batsignal, without it breaking apart. I decided that I would use a LED, because I wanted the lightsource to be a strong one and it had to be energysaving. If I would use a battery as a source of power, that battery would be quickly drained and then I would have to buy new batteries again and again. This build will work by putting a plug into a socket, so you don't have to worry about switching batteries all the time. Take Stage 32 with you!
