Lighted Mario Star for Ikea Skadis

This had been requested to continue a Mario theme for an Ikea Skadis pegboard, went through a few different options for the lights before finally stumbling across these lights on Amazon ( https://a.co/2cM1ZD1 ).  I like how they use AA batteries so you don't have to change them as often as the button ones and, not only does it have a remote to turn the light on and off without having to open it, it also features different light patterns (including flashing ones like Mario gets when he powers up with a star) as well as being able to adjust the brightness.  For when the time does come to change the batteries the two halves are connected with two 8mmX3mm magnets (I used these https://a.co/abSfvz2 ) on each half (4 total). 

The print is made up of 5 pieces so it can be printed without supports, the yellow star, black inserts for the eyes, the front black outline, the back black base, and a black insert with hooks for the base to connect it to the pegboard.  All pieces were printed at 0.2mm layer height and 20% infill.  I used Hatchbox Black and Yellow PLA.  If you need to slice the files yourself, be aware that the back and outline both have a chamfer, I would suggest printing them facing up or else you'll need supports for the battery hook and ledge as they are not the same height as the rest of the features on the back panel.  For the hooks insert, print it upside down.

For assembly, I put some glue on the recessed area on the inside of the back panel, then slid the hooks insert through the holes.  To get the yellow piece inside of the front outline you will have to bend it to clear the magnet holders, I put the left point (facing the star) in first over the magnet holder, I then applied pressure to the middle of the star with my thumbs while working the right point of the star over the other magnet holder with my fingers.  (I would suggest gluing the eye inserts after getting the star clear of the magnet holders as it probably helps the flexibility not having them in there at that point.)  Once you get it in there, you can push it down to rest on the magnet holders and easily apply glue to the outer edge all around the star.  Then glue in the eye inserts and 4 magnets (make sure they're facing the right way first!).  There is a hook for the battery pack to hang on as well as a ledge so all the weight won't be on the small hook.  You will have to angle the battery pack to get it to go on the hook due to the height of the walls, but it's still pretty simple to do.  I suggest stretching out the line of lights, then twisting it back on itself with the lights offset to the middle of each light so there's a smaller gap between lights and better distribution of lights over all.  There are posts you can bend or wrap the light string around as you work it around the star.  For mine, I went counterclockwise with the wire out of the battery pack, under the ledge, then up to the post at the top point and then continued counterclockwise to each post at each point before then wrapping it around the battery pack and finally taping the last bit of the line to the pack itself so there wouldn't be a darker spot in the middle of the star once assembled.  Put the two pieces together, let the magnets do their thing, and then boom, you too will be a proud owner of an overly designed Mario star for your Ikea Skadis.
