Vintage Look - Jungle Lantern

A simple photography inlay lantern built out of 3D printed parts for home decoration, mood lighting and pure awesomeness!

Overall it's a 30 minute DIY project (excluding printing time).

You need very little parts since the main body parts are 3D printed.

Here is the bill of materials:

- 3D Printer & filament (use a lively color!)

- A few printed pictures on standard laser paper (both color & B/W work well)

- A light bulb & 110V receptacle

- Transparent PVC/Acrylic/Glass shape (preferably a cylinder or a sphere)

I have not attached the STL files for 3D printing because they need to be redesigned depending on the diameter of the tube you will be using, lightbulb size... etc

The assembly is trivial. Simply snap together the 3d printed parts, add your picture inside and clip it together. A few drops of superglue or glue gun here and there where it's not visible is a good recommendation if you plan on occasionally moving the lantern around.

From the top view you can see the insides, and from side view, the Jungle photograph I chose to put inside.

And voila! This is what it looks like once on and in place. Simple & awesome!
