Description
This is a custom make inspired by 3D_World_Official's LED lamp: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4248060.
This lamp was designed to print without supports, and is specifically meant to be used with the components I have linked, which are pretty cheap to get on amazon. I will post amazon links to all purchased items at the end of this description.
Technically any type of LED strips will work, but I used 4 pin RGB strips because they are cheap and easy to modify.
Brand: ALED
Type: 5050 SMD RGB strips
Benefits: High LED density (60 LEDS per meter) for pretty darn cheap. I can make 3 more lamps with the remaining strip length from the 10 meter roll.
I also used an LED strip connector kit that is specifically meant for 4 pin RGB LED strips
You will also need a 24v DC power adapter (or 12v power adapter if using 12v strips).
The LED strip light kit comes with one adapter, but I find tons of DC power adapters at goodwill on the used electronics isle and they usually sell them to me for 2$.
Lastly what makes this a "Smart' lamp is that I used a wifi LED controller so that I can control them from an app and link them to my amazon echo to control with my voice. The wifi controller that I linked is very cheap, and the app integrates well with amazon Alexa or google home to allow you to group the device by room or groups to seamlessly work with any other smart lights you may have.
Simply print, wrap the LED's around the "spire" model, and use the connector cable to connect the end of the strip to the wifi controller. Simple as that.
When printing the "Top Cover" model, I highly recommend allowing your print bed to fully cool down after printing before removing the model as the tolerances on it are a little tight and cooling too quickly will make PLA shrink, causing incompatible fit with the diffuser and spire models. I did add an extra 0.2mm of wiggle room just in case of warping, so it might feel slightly loose when fitting the parts together. You can also glue the spire to the top cover, but I would recommend not gluing the diffuser in case you need to access the strips or wiring in the future.
I should have made the diffuser slightly thicker, but I kind of like the hot spots as the layer lines kind of create these weird holographic effect inside the cylinder.
