Dish antenna model that holds a bright white LED. Intended to be used to illuminate a model of the moon.
Used an Adafruit Super Bright White 5mm LED, ID 754, with a 100ohm resistor. Powered off +5.0V. To avoid supports I printed the dish in two halves and glued them together, however if you want to avoid a seam it’s likely printing the dish at an angle with supports is possible.
An M3x12 and M3 nut is used to hold the dish antenna into the stand.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
