Greetings adventurer!
This week brings a short video on how to create your own LED lights for your D&D and Warhammer terrain! 3 types of lights were created - floorstanding lamp posts, wallmount brackets and pathway lighting. All use 3mm orange/yellow flickering LED's, so they are *easy* to hook up to Conwy Castle LED driver boards, or directly to CR2032 batteries!
Follow along with me as I use Fusion360 to create the dimentional item, then use blender to create real woodgrain texture that your average resin 3d printer should handle without issue.
If you want to skip that homework, then STL's can be purchased below, or if you don't have a 3D printer, a set of pre-printed items can be ordered too!
I can't wait to read your comments and feedback. Hopefully this tutorial is useful to many!
Cheers
Rochey
