About: Hello! My name is Tetiana. One of my hobbies is 3D printing. My work covers various areas of engineering to the decorative. You can see my models on the sites: http://www.thingiverse.com/TanyaAkinora/about

Nightlight "Funny kitten" for our favorite kids.

It is simple to make and safe for children.

In this, it was chosen powered by batteries and completely closed case.

LEDs arranged in a circle form a beautiful pattern.

And in the daytime, it's just a happy kitten on the wall.

I use the DC-DC Converter 0.9V to 5V for full use of a single battery

The case is printed on the 3D printer.

Step 1: We Need:

1. 3D printed case.
2. 11 LEDs 5mm diameter.

3. Soldering.

4. Wire.

5. Switch.

6. 350mA LED Driver NSI50350AS
