Portable Campfire

Portable campfire.

I started out making this for a GI Joe diorama.   My wife liked it so much it's got a home in our living room w/o the Joes.

The LED base is designed to work with 3mm flashing LEDs.  The flash is built into the LED so nothing more than a 2032 battery and some wire is needed.   I used a combination of half red and half yellow LEDs to get the desired look - see attached gifs.   The base is wired with 24ga bell wire with the insulation stripped off.  The bell wire is threaded through the base and into the battery area as the contacts.   The LEDs are put into the provided holders and press fit into the base connecting to the bell wires.  The long lead of the LED is the positive lead.   You will need to clip the leads of the LEDs fairly short so they don't interact with the battery holder.

You need about 10 inches of 24Ga wire each for both the positive and negative wiring for the base.  The base is designed to allow you to pull the wires tight into the cavities provided to keep the wires separate.

I wire the base so that the positive terminal of the battery is up.   The wiring diagram provided is for a different design but gives you the idea of how to proceed.

Red LEDs: Amazon.com: Chanzon 100 pcs 3mm Blinking Red LED Diode Lights 1.5Hz Flashing (Diffused Lens Frosted Round DC 2V 20mA) Bright Lighting Bulb Lamps Electronics Components Indicator Light Emitting Diodes : Industrial & Scientific

Yellow LEDs: Amazon.com: Chanzon 100 pcs 3mm Blinking Yellow LED Diode Lights 1.5Hz Flashing (Diffused Lens Frosted Round DC 2V 20mA) Bright Lighting Bulb Lamps Electronics Components Indicator Light Emitting Diodes : Industrial & Scientific

Printed in PETG with .4 nozzle and .2 layer with selective supports on the flame, LED base and battery holder. (see gcode files NOTE: Gcode is for a prusa Mini with a Bondtech extruder.  Do NOT use with a standard Mini.) and supports on build plate for the logs and nubs.

Should be able to scale everything but the base up in size w/o mods for a bigger fire.
