Description
Update: Updated the model to increase the opening in the base. It should fit those larger USB cables a bit better now. Also added a .step file to make it easier for others to remix.
This is my first build of the new year and my first ever post on Printables! For my first project I've created a WLED controlled lamp which you can connect and control over wifi. The lamp also creates it's own wireless access point which you can use to connect and control the lamp from. If you have Home Assistant you can simply add it to the rest of your home automation setup.
I'm very open to constructive criticism but please be nice with your comments. If you have any questions, ask away. I will try to be as helpful as possible.
Bill of materials:
Wemos D1 mini: https://www.amazon.com/MakerFocus-NodeMcu-Development-ESP8266-Compatible/dp/B07KW54YSK
Neopixel jewel: https://www.amazon.com/DIYmall-Integrated-Individually-Addressable-Raspberry/dp/B0B2D6JDVJ
2x M2x10 screws: https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-M2x10mm-Alloy-Socket-Machine/dp/B01AXWRUES
Printing:
Printing is pretty straight forward. There are three parts. The base, neopixel mounting plate, and lamp shade. The only part you should reorient is the lamp shade. Print that with the flat side on the build plate. Everything else is just printed at 15% infill without supports.
Infill: 15%
Supports: None
Assembly:
The assembly process is pretty simple. I've even created an easy to follow wiring diagram. You will just want to be sure and solder the wires to the neopixel AFTER you've placed them through the middle neopixel mounting plate. I've also included a photo of this step. Once everything is soldered up, place the wemos into the base followed by the mounting plate and neopixel. Then just screw everything together with two M2 screws.
To install WLED just plug in a micro usb cable into the wemos and visit WLED browser based install page. You can find that page here: https://install.wled.me/
