Ford logo lamp (circa 1927-1956) MMU

Ford logo (circa 1927-1956) as a desk lamp. This is meant to be printed as a multi-color print. Requires running LED strip lights. This is based on a technique I found to create lamps from any logo with this video from Duke Doks. To assemble you will stick LED lights around the inside perimeter with the lead wire going out the back hole. A piece of tape (preferably white or clear) should be used to secure the lead wire inside the assembly.

I recommend using LED COB style lights instead of the SMD style which is what you see used in the video. LED COB lights are easier to work with for these projects and have more lights per meter creating a more uniform glow. I personally used these 5V LED COB lights on Amazon. I recommend going with a bright rather than warm light since it will be diffused by the print itself. I also used 5V lights so I can plug them into any USB charger. This project requires less than 1 meter of lights.

All prints are done at 0.20mm. It is recommended you use the included .3mf files to slice your prints, but not necessary.

Logo Back and Logo Font should be printed together, each with its own color. Disable elephant foot compensation when printing the logo to ensure all edges are filled properly.

Base and Rim should be printed together, using white for the base, and blue for the rim.

I used a couple of dabs of super glue around the ledge to secure the logo into the base for final assembly.

As with all my models, I include the Fusion 360 .f3d design file if you want to make tweaks to it yourself. If you do this and publish your model, please include attribution.
