Real Crystal Ball for less than $30!
This is a project first designed by @julieoakes3 on tiktok. I was shared this idea by a user called @anthony.boffice aka ElecticFX. He sent me the parts in exchange for me designing this base.
The base prints easily with some minor support. It prints on its bottom. There is a threaded plug in the bottom that also holds in the projector. You do need to slightly bend the USB-C Cable to get it to fit. Once inside then you use the threaded bottom to hold it all together. The Globe just friction fits.
Here are the parts you need from Amazon: Projector
GLOBE LINK IS FIXED
Please go follow the OG creators, and thank them for this great idea.











same for me as DrB23 - did not fit projector, but also the projector sent does not have the same outer shell as listed on the amazon page so idk
The original link to the projector must have been the issue and I didn't recognize it until now. I'm returning it and the current link takes me to what appears to be the correct projector. Thanks for clearing this up!
It certainly could just be me, but I printed this on my X1C, sliced with Bambu Studio at 100% scale, and it does not fit the projector in the link. The model is too small for the projector to fit inside.
Thanks for fixing link
Anyone found the link for the globe? The one above is still linked to the projector.
Love your designs and definitely going to try this one. Saw on TikTok asking for ideas of other bases but couldn’t comment wanted to say a hand holding the crystal ball would be awesome but not sure how all that would work with the parts. Thanks again! Looking to make a few model purchases soon!!
Great idea. Unfortunately, one of the links you posted is incorrect as both the links you shared are for the same item. If you could correct it with the correct link, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.
Absoultly love this idea and design. One thing though, the link for the Globe takes me to the same link for the projector.
