Dewalt 18V lamp

Inspired by Isogrid pattern commonly used in aerospace industry I decided to design Dewalt lamp in this style. 

This project requires some basic electronics and soldering skills. 

Additional hardware: 

16xM4x14

2x M4x25

1x XL6009

4x5.5mm rods

1x mini rocket switch

2x Cable Lug Male

Main part of the lamp is the core which can be 3d printed but I used aluminum square tube for better heat dissipation. It can be found in your local hardware store. 

You need to glue 4 strips of LED to each side of the core and then run cables through it from the top to the bottom. 

I used 12V led strips therefore you need some sort of converter from 18v to 12V DC. 

I used: XL6009 4A

From the converter you will need to connect it to the mini rocker switch and with the batter itself. 

Base 3 is equipped with slots to accommodate Cable Lug Male which are used to connect with battery cells. 

Rest of the assembly is easy as shown in the picture below. 

I recommend to print isogrid lamp shade using resin printer since it has really thin wall and a lot of details. Rest can be easily printed on the FDM printer. Recommended print orientation is depicted in the picture.
