Description:
Introducing G.E.L.: Galactic Empire Lantern v1!
Even the Dark Side needs a little light sometimes!  Inspired by adventures (and awesome set design) in a galaxy far, far away, this easy-to-print Galactic Empire Lantern requires no AMS, no supports, and no glue (depending on printer tolerances, you may opt for a drop of super glue to secure the magnets in place). 

Designed to simply fit together without any adhesive, all you need are your preferred filament colors, eight  5x2mm magnets, and a Bambu Lab RGB Puck Light (KC007) or equivalent. This super portable lantern measures 6" tall by 3.25" wide and makes for a great night light or just a fun ambient/mood light.

 

After some experimentation, strong recommendation to use a white or light color for the internal light diffuser to make the most of the RGB LED colors. Supports are not required for the Galactic Empire  sheath, but, as always, it does help to print at higher quality (and/or slower) for better output.

NOTE: The 3mf includes two different options for the top – one is blank (situated with the other components) and the other includes a Galactic Empire logo. You only need to print 1 to complete the lantern. There are also unique print settings for the diffuser that are enabled if you use the designer profile.
