<p>A parametric lamp design using WS2812B / Neopixels LEDs and a NodeMCU v3.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4><strong>Printing Instructions</strong></h4><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Before you print anything, make sure your parts' dimensions fit together. Since</p><p>this design is compatible with a whole variety of lampshades, be aware that some</p><p>lampshades will have to be scaled down or up to fit the base's default settings.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h5>Base</h5><p><br>- Layer height: up to 0.3mm is fine, there's little detail on the Z-axis</p><p>- Seam: Rear (hidden on the back of the lamp, along with the USB port)</p><p>- Infill: 5% would be enough, 10 or 15% is recommended for cleaner prints</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h5><strong>Cover</strong></h5><p>&nbsp;</p><p>- Layer height: up to 0.3mm is fine, there's little detail on the Z-axis</p><p>- Seam: Rear (hidden on the back of the lamp, along with the USB port)</p><p>- Infill: 5% would be enough, 10 or 15% is recommended for cleaner prints</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h5><strong>LED Strip Holder</strong></h5><p><br>&nbsp;Print this part in vase/spiral mode!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>- Layer height: use the biggest layer height your printer can handle</p><p>- Bottom layers: 0</p><p>- Infill: 0% as it's printed in spiral mode</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h5><strong>Diffuser</strong></h5><p><br>&nbsp;Print this part in vase/spiral mode!</p><p><br>- Layer height: use the biggest layer height your printer can handle</p><p>- Bottom layers: 2</p><p>- Infill: 0% as it's printed in spiral mode</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h5><strong>Lampshades</strong></h5><p><br>&nbsp;Print this part in vase/spiral mode!</p><p><br>- Layer height: depends on the model and size of the lampshade</p><p>- Bottom layers: 2</p><p>- Infill: 0% as it's printed in spiral mode</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4><strong>Assembly</strong></h4><p><br>Stick the LED strips into the strip holder's channels. Note that each segment</p><p>has a direction (indicated by an arrow printed on it). Route them in a zig-zag</p><p>fashion: first segment points upwards, second segment downwards, third one</p><p>upwards again, and so on. The WS2812 strips can be powered from either end, just</p><p>make sure you match the polarity indicated on the strips. Connect each DI pin</p><p>with the DO pin of the segment next to it. The first segment's DI pin gets</p><p>connected to the micro controller.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The NodeMCU v3 has a VUSB pin, which you can use to supply the strips with 5V,</p><p>directly from its USB port.</p><h4><br><strong>Software</strong></h4><p><br>Use WLED! Make sure you set up multiple segments, with their `Reverse Direction`</p><p>setting enabled alternating. Configure the maximum power draw to match your</p><p>power supply's rating. Store a preset with your favorite effect and colors, and</p><p>enable it to be the default on boot-up.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4><strong>Notes</strong></h4><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This design was heavily inspired by BRUXXUS's amazing Chromalux design, and is</p><p>even compatible with some of its components, like the lampshades. The reason I</p><p>decided to come up with my own design, is that I wanted to make a parametric and</p><p>free design that can be customized to fit any LED strip, micro-controller, or</p><p>lampshade, and can be scaled up or down as desired (or as required by your</p><p>printer's dimensions). It also improves on the original design idea in various</p><p>ways, allowing for a tighter fit of the components.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Make your own stunning lamps!</p>
