Bat Signal 2

If you frequent DIY Photography, you’ll know we’re big fans of the Light Blaster, a speedlight accessory that allows you to cast shapes and designs onto a subject or background.

Today, we have for you a fun DIY project that does essentially the same thing, except for your smartphone’s camera flash.

Bat Signal 3

Created by Dalek, this particular model is designed to display the iconic Bat-Signal. But if you’re at all familiar with making 3D models in CAD programs, it wouldn’t be too difficult to make your own, custom design.

Further more, you could make a design that allows you to drop in shapes and designs, much like the Light Blaster.

Dalek was kind enough to share his creation with the world on Thingiverse, so if you’re feeling a little batty today, head on over and download it. All you’ll need is a 3D printer. If you don’t have one of those, you can order one on Etsy for about $6.
