Week 10: Digital Models

Sphere base iterations:
These have a separate compartment to house the battery as my previous design had a few complications.

Iteration One: Bayonet

flat bottom for stability 
The centre cylinder has to holes in the top for the prongs of the LED to slip into
Hollowed out inside. This allows more of the Hallows sign to be seen in the middle. It shall be interesting to see the lighting affect of the LED now the thickness of the printing has been reduced. 
Inside cylinder has a bayonet fitting on the inside for the battery insert to slot into
A simple push up and twist, no hook
Cylinder to be inserted into the bottom of the sphere base. Houses the battery for the circuit...

Prongs on the sides for the bayonet fitting
Battery slot in centre
Semi-circles on either side of the battery slot for the LED prongs to slide in next to the battery
Speaker representation on the bottom of the insert cylinder.

Iteration 2: Slot

It looks like a piggy nose
Slot space for plastic to slip into and cover the hole and exit 
If I extruded the slot further it goes through and out the other side of the base because it is a circular shape and I have it quite close to the bottom.
