Friendly Face

I created a friendly face that lights up for my brother who is afraid of the dark. He always sleeps with the lights on and it wastes a lot of power, so I created this fun little friend for him to have so he isn't eating away at my college savings with his power consumption.

• Transparent 3D Printing Filament
• Laptop with Fusion 360
• 3D Printer
• A good attitude
• Gorilla Glue
• Mini electric candle (Tea Lamp)
• Sharpie

1. Open Fusion 360
2. Create a project
3. Create a primitive sphere with a loop length of 3.922
4. Create a sketch of a circle that is the circumference of the sphere
5. Create a plane on the x axis halfway into the sphere
6. Create a secondary circle sketch on the new plane that matches the previous sketch
7. Cut the circle in half on the same sketch
8. Revolve a cut around the center line, leaving 1.9in of depth in the original sphere
9. Create a .6in diameter circle sketch separate from the original sphere
10. Extrude that .2inches up
11. Create a sketch of a square around the circle, .6in on each side
12. Extrude the square .1in up
13. Create two circles with a diameter of .4in and place them on the previously created plane, towards the back of the sphere
14. Extrude both of those circles, .4in double sided
15. On the y plane, create two sketches of several attached triangles on top of the extruded circles on the rear of the circle. 
16. Extrude each of those sketches .075in on two sides
17. Filet each triangle edge .025in
18. Create two circle sketches with a .4 diameter on the bottom of the sphere,towards the negative x plane
19. Extrude each circle .2in
20. Create a sketch of a line .3in, starting at the center of the extruded circle going towards the negative x plane
21. Repeat step 20 on the second circle
22. Create a pipe using one of the lines, with a diameter of .2in
23. Repeat step 22 for the second line
24. Create a hole in the top of the sphere, .22in deep with a diameter of .6
25. On the z axis, create a fit point spline that resembles an upside down smiley face
26. Join extrude that sketch .006in
27. Create two circles with a diameter of .1in centered on the cylinders at the bottom of the object
28. Cut Extrude each of those circles .15in into the cylinders
29. Create a triangle sketch on the XZ axis towards the center front of the sphere
30. Extrude that sketch .1in on each side
31. Fillet the corners of the triangle .05in on every edge
32. Have a celebratory smile, you're done!

In this step, you print the design to your local 3D printer. Personally, I sent it to my teacher and he printed it because I do not have access to a 3D printer.

We all have a little inner childlike desire that wants to color, and part of this design fulfills that desire. Just take a sharpie and color the nose, eyes, and smile to add some depth to the object

Take a plastic Tea Lamp and use gorilla glue to attach it to the hole in the bottom of the friendly face.
