Description
The main model prints in 3 pieces. The base will print upside down with no supports, but the mast and the crow's nest pieces will need supports. Organic supports worked best. I used CA glue to hold things together. The connector pieces are a tight fit, but they can be used to get things lined up correctly.
The top has an opening for an LED. It can be wired down to the base. The base has an opening for a 555 timer circuit and a 9V battery. The side of the base has a clot for a switch to turn it on/off. The cover for the base screws on with countersunk ¼ inch screws.
Some information on 555 timers is included here: https://www.build-electronic-circuits.com/555-timer/ It's a tight fit for a circuit, but it can be done.
