I wanted to create a string of lanterns to sit on the top of the retaining wall in front of my house for Halloween that uses a set of RGB string lights that I can program with my phone. I designed this file to use 6 foot cedar fence pickets and to be routed on my CNC router; however, along the way, I modified the file to also output lanterns that are standalone using tea lights or pond lights and which can be routed, laser cut, or 3d printed. I've included the presets I used for each type but the file is customizable. The only caveat is that most all the customizations will require you to download the files and run it in OpenSCAD on your computer - the online Customizer doesn't support 2d files or importing additional files (such as the face.svg). My daughter saw some of the lanterns and wanted a black heart so that file is available as well.The .c2d files are for Carbide Create (free version) with paths/feeds/speeds/etc for my router - a Millright MegaV with an 1/8" downcut endmill -
