3D print this Sailboat Night Light Design! These make great DIY gifts, and are wonderful in the home, garage, work shop or man cave!
This post is dedicated to my parents. My Father helped to inspire this design and my Mother has supported me by saving many of my Pinterest pins. Thank you both for everything!

Fun Facts!
The Sailboat was invented in Mesopotamia in 1300 B.C.
What you will need:
- 3D printer filament. I used a brown PLA filament but you are free to choose what you think would look best. I found that post-processing such as sanding was not required with PLA.
2. Assorted Sandpaper (this may not be required with PLA).
3. Night Lights (6 Colors to choose from).
4. The 3D File. Just click on the blue colored “FREE SAILBOAT .STL FILE” link to download the free file.
Now just print it, sand it, slide it onto the Night Light and enjoy! On my Airwolf 3D printer, I used an extruder temperature of 220 C, and a resolution of .2 mm. On the print bed I used blue painters tape and did not use bed heat. I printed with the Sailboat flat on the build plate and I did not use a raft or support material.
