Instructions

Print the balloon at maximum scale, 0% fill and 3 shells. Stop at 96% and remove from the platform. Drill a 1 1/2" hole in the bottom of the balloon.

Spool Center should be printed on its edge at maximum size.

Drill a one inch diameter hole in the MakerBot spool to accept the plug from the Bottle Lamp Kit #0042925 from Lowes. I used a 4.5 watt LED lamp #0477033 Utilitech from Lowes.

I acquired the drinking bird from Amazon. Use the bottle lamp instructions and the pictures for assembly.
