Night Light

Night Light. 

I designed for one LED but, what I had on hand was rated for 3.2v and the batteries I had laying around (LR44) were 1.5v so created a battery pack to hold two batteries.  Btw, I chose LR44 battery because it seems to be used in almost all my digital measuring devices so had plenty on hand.  Used 2.5 Shells, 0.2mm Layer Height, 5% Infill and no Supports for printed parts. Used Spiral Vase Mode for the Multi-Directional Shades. 

OEM parts were originally purchased from Digi-Key.  Use the below supplied p/n’s and look up the specs on www.digikey.com  and then source/buy from where ever you want.  I set this design up  so that you will only need to add one wire (see pic’s). 

LED P/N C513A-WSN-CV0Y0151-ND

Battery Contact W/Spring P/N SNT5-1-ND

Battery Contact P/N 36-5226-ND

Switch P/N EG1903-ND

Battery P/N LR44

I labeled “S” and “L” for the LED Leads (short  and long). I know most electronic folks will balk at this but, for most of us we don’t keep track of Cathode (short lead or Negative) and Anode (long lead or Positive). 

Bond parts with your favorite method.  I used Acetone.  See supplied pictures for assembly steps.  Remember to dry fit everything, install battery contacts in Battery Pack before bonding Battery Pack and bond Battery Pack after bonding the Finger Cover. 

A feature I would like to point out is the Battery Door, kind of like how it turned out.  Take notice of the undercut area where you can get your fingernail in to displace the snap for opening.  It’s pretty intuitive but, play with it a few times getting a feel for what hand motions/orientations work for  you.
