Fancy checking out a slightly more complex “wavey” design? Check out https://www.printables.com/model/825409-waves-midcentury-led-lamp . If you already printed the shade from this design, no worries, they're interchangeable! You do not need to reprint the legs or base.
A cute little midcentury modern lamp design that makes use of a LED strip and optionally a WLED flashed ESP32 for LED control. The top screws into the bottom, making servicing the ESP32 very easy, along with opening the future possibility of different shade designs!
Don't forget to drop a heart if you like this, and post a make if you made one, I'd love to see these out in the wild :D
You will need:
- An ESP32 board flashed with WLED (see https://install.wled.me/ and https://kno.wled.ge/)
- A LED strip - I recommend the SK6812
- The printed parts, here. Note that there are two top designs. One with a hole for a potentiometer, which you can add to control brightness or colour with WLED, or one without the hole.
- Some glue, for attaching the feet.
I printed the white parts using Sunlu White PLA Meta which does quite a good job as a LED diffuser, but any white PLA should work. The black feet were printed out of TPU, but they'll print just as nicely with black PLA - but expect the lamp to slide around the place! You could also print the base out of a secondary colour for a two tone design!
Once you have prepared your wiring for the LED strip and soldered to the LED strip, run it through the hole on the base and then through the hole on the side (see picture). You can then slip an ESP32 into the middle space, and make the required connection. Assuming you used the SK6812 5V LED strip I suggested, you should be able to power the whole lot from a single USB port. You'll be surprised how bright the strip gets and how much light the lamp gives off!
