"8-Bit" Minecraft Diamond Ore Lamp - Siri Enabled

myminifactory

Human: I've crafted my own Minecraft diamond ore lamps in various spots, but they all lacked one key element: the distinctive pixelation that defines the game's aesthetic. By combining techniques from 3D printed lithographs and PrusaSlicer features, I was able to infuse mine with the unmistakable 8-bit charm it needed. The lamp can be controlled via Siri (and its equivalents on other platforms) through Homebridge. Via the Home app on my iOS devices, I can easily manage the color, brightness, and on/off status at will using a familiar interface that I've come to know from other devices. Alternatively, I can use Siri commands like "Hey Siri, turn the Diamond lamp on." or "Hey Siri, set the brightness of the Diamond lamp to 100%." To achieve the desired Diamond Ore look, I simply say "Hey Siri, set the color of the Diamond lamp to Aqua." This is powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero and a Unicorn pHAT, which provides an excellent amount of lighting for this project while offering high flexibility. I've also added two bonus "colors" that function as effect modes: "Hey Siri, set the color of the Diamond lamp to Candlelight" simulates a flickering candle inside the lamp, while "Hey Siri, set the color of the Diamond lamp to Ocean Boat Blue" creates a slowly undulating blue wave effect. Additionally, "Hey Siri, set the color of the Diamond lamp to Razzmatazz" generates a cycling rainbow effect. The software I wrote to control the lamp and instructions for installation can be found here: https://github.com/mkoistinen/unicorn-homebridge-integration. This print measures 150mm on each side.
