Desktop Planting (Part I - LED grow lamp set)

thingiverse

This design lets succulent enthusiasts cultivate their plants indoors in a controlled environment, shielding them from predators and harsh weather. Native species are often found outside of urban zones, so growing them on balconies can be challenging due to limited sunlight. However, LED or growth lamps provide a solution for city dwellers. For hobbyists, this project is an experiment and an opportunity to learn through fun experimentation. It has been divided into two smaller projects: the main body of the 3D-printed LED lamp set with a heat sinker and the electronic circuit example of building power supply, LED drivers, and LED combinations. If you don't like my LED lamp set's style or have different designs, feel free to share them!
