Action Cam LED Lamp and Torch

cults3d

Good morning everyone! Here I'll show you my project. I'm really proud of it, and I love the idea of sharing it with you, hoping you'll enjoy it too! My aim wasn't just to create something useful or nice to watch, but something that combines both qualities. So, I came up with this object. It's a small box with a switch on top and a power LED on the front side. The main idea is a torch. I designed the style in an action cam format because I love its essential design. The "torch" itself is compact, strong, and really small – great skills! After that first step, I decided to create a way for it to stick anywhere easily. Fortunately, there's already a way to do this that's really simple. I'm a big fan of ball joints! So, I added four balls on the two big sides of the box. Using ball joints, I created some legs for the action cam so it can stand anywhere. However, in my opinion, it still wasn't enough, so I realized a chain of ball joints using the project you can find here. You can find the best and smallest ball joints I've ever printed there. I also designed a ball joint with two balls and one with two holes – it's really useful! With these things, you can stick the action cam just about anywhere (check out the photos where I put them on my bike – it worked perfectly!). There, by the way, I used http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5170 because I was still printing the one I came up with myself, and it works well too! So, this object is really useful now, but not especially nice-looking yet. That's why I decided to play around with LEDs. I created some covers (they're not customizable on Customizer because I'm not great at OpenScad, but if you'd like to customize them, just ask me and I'll create and upload them as quickly as possible!). I personally used the Wu Tang logo because I'm a fan. There are three different kinds – two of them are open, and one is closed – check out the results in the photos; the effect is amazing! You can use it: * As an accessory, which is really useful if you're planning to do some nice exploring this summer in a dark place. * As a lamp, which is really nice-looking. * As a torch, for example on your bike or somewhere else. * And hundreds of different ways! Let's find your way and show me your amazing results! I hope you'll enjoy using it as much as I did creating it.
