Thing T. Thing Lamp

Thing T. Thing Lamp

update: base files have been revised - if you have problems printing the base, load the new files (..._v2).

hello, i think thing adams is so cool and wanted to have a lamp that looks like this. so i made a base with the fingers on it and lit it from the inside.
either simply place the hand in the holes - or glue it on.
you can glue on the end piece of the hand - but it also works without.

the base is made of two parts. inside are five WS2812B and a wemos d1 mini 3.0.0.
the 5 leds are pressed in and soldered. then connect to the controller and the power supply.
for the power connector there are 2 variants. one is a small magnetic connector and the other is a usb-c connector. use whichever you like.

you have to install a .bin-file on the wemos and set it up.

please note - the usb c socket must look exactly like in the pictures, otherwise it will not fit.

you could also cover the fingernails with some paint - makes the look a little creepier...
