LED Flashlight for the XRP robotic kit

June 26, 2024
Description
Don't let your XRP robot get lost in the dark! This model is compatible with the 5mm LEDs. It's designed to be attached to the hole(s) on the XRP base. It does not need any supports, so the printing is pretty easy. Can be printed in one or multiple colors. I recommend you print two flashlights - each one on each end.
Print recommendations:
It doesn't need supports, just orient it right. I printed it with the basic Bambu slicer settings so I think there's no need to change them. I don't have a Prusa printer so I didn't test the sliced file in Prusa slicer, but I don't think there could be troubles.
What do you need:
- Printed parts
- LED(s)
- 220 Ω resistor(s)
- 2x wires

I don't actually have the XRP robotics kit, so I created a simple replica for the photo :)
