Ideal for stereolithography (SLA) printing, with a per‑piece cost of roughly 20 RMB. If your modeling skills are up to par, you can replace the two characters “Qingdao” in the model with any other pair of characters. The character models consist of a simple cylindrical shape topped with the corresponding character.

The build list and associated costs, from top to bottom, are as follows:

1. The lighthouse tower can be printed in any material, priced at 1.77 RMB, with the option to add custom color accents later.

2. The fence is crafted from gray resin, priced at 1.77 RMB.

3. The transparent components—such as the diffuser housed within the fence—are made from clear resin, costing 1.77 RMB.

4. The tower body is printed in white resin, priced at 2.55 RMB.

5. The base can be printed in any material, with a cost of 3.37 RMB.

6. The text elements can be printed in any resin, priced at 1.77 RMB per character—though you’re free to customize the colors yourself afterward.

The total printing cost comes to 14.77 RMB. The small light adds about 2 RMB to the overall price—but even without the light, the piece looks stunning on its own.

One of the standout features of this lighthouse is its built‑in warm‑white LED light, which doubles as a cozy nightlight. The light’s position has been carefully designed to mimic the original signal beacon of a real lighthouse, giving the impression that there’s an actual light source nestled inside.

You can easily find similar small lights by searching for “small lighthouse” on any online shopping platform—just make sure the dimensions match those in the design!

I’ve currently developed two color schemes (as shown in the images)—any hue within the red–yellow spectrum will work beautifully. Acrylic markers, water-based paints, or even spray paint are all excellent options for bringing these designs to life.

This creative lighthouse draws inspiration from the Xiao Qingdao Lighthouse, softening its sharp edges and infusing it with a playful, childlike charm while incorporating high‑saturation colors to enhance its cuteness.
