Cell Structure Lamp

For a brand-new and upgraded version on my own website, go to https://www.designuitinspiratie.nl/celstruktuur-lamp/\r\n\r\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nSimple lamp that changes color with ease\r\nThe dimensions are 60x60x90mm printed in white PLA as shown here\r\nFor the inside I designed two diffusers. One is printed in the “spiral outer contour mode” and the other is a flat plate that sits on top of the LED's and Arduino. In the pictures you can see the flat one. The reason I used the flat one is because I couldn't print the other one without warping and still only use one wall layer (but maybe someone else can do it:-) ). So I made the flat one. In my case I used 2 layers, making the flat diffuser 0.4 mm thick. The diffuser makes the light spread more and prevents the light shining right into your eyes. If the light is still too strong, you can make the diffuser just a little bit thicker, like 3 layers for instance. Of course it's also possible to make an diffuser out of paper or other thin material.\r\nThe light source is a Arduino Nano and 6 NeoPixels. This must be the easiest and cheapest way to make a light source at this time. This because I use the Arduino as a power source for the LED's also.\r\nThese NeoPixel LED's are run by code on the Arduino. I won't go into explaining how this works, but you can read all about it on: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide/arduino-library-use.\r\nSo Adafruit made some very easy to use library's to run these NeoPixel LED's :-) I just installed their library's and modified one of their examples. Now the LED's change color over time. But you can do a lot more than that.\r\nIf you don't want to research all of that, you can use the Arduino sketch I included with the files. I also added the Adafruit library that is needed to compile this sketch. For the connections from Arduino to the NeoPixels please see the “schematic” at the picture tab. The Power Source is a 5V phone charger (at least 1A)\r\nDo you have any questions? Feel free to ask. Do you think I made a mistake or forgot something? Feel free to comment :-)
