These models are a little larger than I thought they’d be, is that an actual light at the top?
Yes! Having an actual light is one of my favorite things about these, especially since it’s tied into the keyword. The light can be turned off in accordance with the keyword. 😀
These particular lights are the best for them I’ve found so far – no wiring/installation necessary, easy to remove via the removable top, and small enough to fit in a decent amount of the 3D printable models I’ve found so far. Sometimes I just have to make the top part taller so the bulb isn’t buried in the apex.
I’m going to sound a little silly, but I was expecting them to look more like a taller skinnier fort, like several 2D pieces of plastic put together to make a 3D shape.
I might still attempt a more “CSG-style” constructible version someday, but I’m too busy with other stuff in the meantime. I like how the models I’ve found so far are circular (not blocky like a rectangular one would be) and smooth, and they also come in multiple parts so they can easily be disassembled or have a certain level of “constructibility” to them.
