Quick Log

Adding Components

I quickly CADed up the internal components of the light, to roughly represent their sizing, fit and spacing. All lose electronics will be attached using a glue gun.

Thats it!

pretty short devlog, but ty for reading!

Making the whole thing!

Base Shape

I started of by extruding the top cross section of the case, then using the side profile to remove sections while keeping an angular face. Then i hollowed out the part, allowing for electronics to fit inside.

Mounts and Solar Panels

After hollowing it out, i extruded holes for screws to connect the back plate to thhe front, allowing for easy assembly. Then a USBc port was added to allow a secondary method of charging. A cutout was made for the solar panel to slot in, as well as a tray just below for the second one. A hole was added in the centre so the switch can be screwed in place.

Thank you!

If you have any suggestions to my design, please tell me in the comments below. Thank you for reading!

P.S: A wiring diagram is also attached below!

First Devlog!

Light Design Concept Sketches

To start my designs, i sketched out a few ideas i had in mind. The first one is meant to be sleek, modern, and blend into the enviornment where its placed, while the second design, my personal favorite, is more futuristic, and designed similar to an EDC product.the concept sketches are attached below.

Thank you for reading! If anyone has any other light designs that would be rlly cool, please tell me below! I’ll try to make it!
