Headtorch lantern shell

Turn a headtorch into a tent lantern

Strap a headtorch round the shell with its lens in the front window and hang it from the top hole: the thin translucent walls spread the beam into soft, even tent light that does not dazzle anyone. Folds nothing, weighs little, uses the torch you already carry.

Translucent white PETG, 1.6 mm walls.

Prints as shown on its floor, no supports. Large holes in the walls may need supports or good bridging. Stacked parts are fused into one print.

Filament: at most about 24.5 g of PLA printed solid (roughly $0.49 at $20 per kg); normal infill uses less.
