One final update with new features -the Lantern
Alright guys, one final update on the Lantern!
I've gone through all of your feedback and requests, and I've done my best to incorporate everything—and then some. Next to the light up rings and all, the build is absolutely packed with improvements and options. Keep in mind these updates were done only for the Lantern.
What's included in the final update for the Lantern:
1. Updated back details for improved accuracy
The rear detailing has been refined to better match the original design.
2. Fully removable top and bottom sections
Both the top and bottom of the lantern can now be screwed open and shut, making it easy to access any lights or electronics inside.
3. Electronics mounting platform
I've added a small stand/platform that screws into the lower lid, allowing you to mount electronics in an elevated position. As a bonus, there's also a slot designed for RC LED lights, though you're free to use whatever lighting setup you prefer.
4. New press-fit control plate option
I've redesigned the internal plate and added a press-fit version, allowing you to install your own buttons and switches. This means you can have the lantern light up when the ring is pressed into the lantern.
5. General printability improvements
A number of small refinements have been made, including thickness adjustments and changes to reduce the need for support material during printing.
6. And while I was at it... I made the bird too! :D
So that's it, everyone—one final update. I think just about every build option is covered now, and I'm really happy with where the project has landed.
Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions along the way!

sorry i posted this on your last post by mistake. i am putting the lantern together but i cant figure out where to put L18 pressure plate button holder. would you have a video on the assembly?
On the inside of L16 -its a plate to connect your buttons to, so when you position it inside the button snaps back the ring plate . Since i dont have any push buttons there is nothign to show - its for sny custom electronics/buttons/switches you end up using.can you show me what electronics you will use ? I can provide more info then after seing it :)
What is the print time for the lantern?
I purchased my Lantern and Ring pack via Thangs - https://thangs.com/designer/MysteryMakers/3d-model/Lanterns%20ring%20and%20lantern-1579690 I've gone on to download again but it seems to not include any of the remodeled design for the lantern. Will this one also be upgraded?
yes, within a day or so - patreon members always get early access :)
the Bird! great work again
thank you bud :)
Is it possible just to purchase the lantern pack ?
Hey Sam,if you join the patreon at the "we are makers" tier you get evrything related to all green lantern rings and the lantern, and this months releases and some coins to get previous models for free and a welcome pack, all for 15 $, or if you like you can get them here without joining patreon, but its a bit more expensive https://cults3d.com/en/design-collections/MysteryMakers/green-lantern
