A simple and very cheap led arc for the desk or workbench.
See detailed overview in the video: https://youtu.be/sIdWgDdoWYQ
Here are the parts needed:
- 3d printed models
- 2 x 1m NMC PE pipe insulation, 40mm outer and 15mm inner diameter (example: https://ebay.to/2NhlwAm)
- 2 x steel Safe edge Frame cramps, 19mm wide, 50mm in height, 200mm in length
- 4m of white LED strip, 5mm wide, I strongly suggest one with a dimmer (I'm using this one: https://tinyurl.com/yxezxhjh)
- 2 x cheapest Spring Clamps you can find (https://ebay.to/2PRy6ro)
- A bunch of M3 screws
- A bunch of 2g self-tapping screws
- 4 x M5 10mm countersunk screws
- 4 x M5 nuts
- Few pieces of a cable
- Two pairs of some kind of connector, I used 2.0mm JST
Let me know in the comments if you'd like the design modified for different dimensions of the pipe insulation or frame cramp.
