Creeper shaped LED lamp with shaking head.
Designed to be printed with 5 colors printer (ie MK3 + MMU2).
It can still be printed with less colors by merging parts in the slicer.
Supplies needed
- 12V LED Strip cut to get a load of about 6W:
- example: 40cm cut of 5050 LED strip
- 12V Power supply (min 6W) with 5.5 plug. Better with integrated switch:
- example: 12v power supply with switch
- Female 5.5 plug for case mount:
- example: Male/Female DC 12 Connectors
- 20mm diameter spring (length 50mm):
- example: 1.2x20x50mm spring
- 4xM3 screws for body mount:
- min thread length: 10 mm
- max thread length: 20 mm
- 4xM3 screws for door mount:
- min thread length: 10 mm
- max thread length: 17 mm
- The design requires a round shaped head (ie Allen screws)
Printing
- The body+foot part needs supports on the bed,
- Every part of the Head must be printed with 100% infill:
- We don't want to see the infill pattern through the shaders,
- There are some lithophane effects on front part that require this as well,
- I used 0.2 mm layer height for head parts and 0.3 mm layer height for everything else but there is no real constraint on this parameter.
Assembly
- Follow the attached photos
- For the head, the following points are important:
- Head parts are all different and only left and right can be swapped,
- Before gluing them do some testing to be sure they fit well.
