LED Micro-TARDIS by Bioluminescence
LED Micro-TARDIS by Bioluminescence
Thingiverse citizen Bioluminescence has contributed this magnificent Time And Relative Dimensions In Space, including a little glowing LED at the top. It features a back panel that can slide into place, spaces for wire springs, batteries, and, of course, the glowing bit at the top. Bioluminescence has also provided copious notes on their construction, even down to how to color the plastic with a blue sharpie to get just that right TARDIS-blue. And, I always appreciate photos showing a design’s progression from prototype to final form. 1
Who hasn't wanted their own TARDIS at some point? The Old Girl (or Sexy, as she prefers to be known) can be yours in miniaturized form, complete with light on top.
This micro-TARDIS just looks small from the outside (5cm tall) - there's a lot more going on inside.---TARDIS Blue---
To get the best colo(u)r, I recommend printing with blue ABS, and covering it fairly evenly BEFORE printing, with a blue Sharpie. This changes the print colo(u)r from blue to dark blue. (Approx 0073CF to 0000B8)---Bits and Pieces---
You will need 1x 5mm LED (in white, blue or UV), some wire, 2x small cell batteries, and an empty drinks can (or similar).
I've got some smaller LEDs coming in the mail, and I intend to get this small enough to attach to one of my infamous hair clips. The photograph shows my iterations, but it looks a bit like the TARDIS is moving through time in a way that only Baker-era special effects could claim ;)
This thing brought to you by 
- It’s all very Aristotelian.
