Govee Lyra lamp turning base

thingiverse

Its purpose: I recently bought a Lyra lamp. I quickly found that I prefer to have some effects facing the wall to get a nice, diffused glow, whereas other effects and when using the lamp to simply light up the room, I tend to prefer having the LEDs facing towards the room.Now, it's arguably not a very physically demanding task to just pick up the lamp half an inch, turning it, then placing it back down. To which I'd reply: "Yes. But isn't this cooler...?"The design: I tried to make the thing be as invisible as possible. I was mostly constrained by the thickness of the 608 ball bearing. I could have shaved off a few more millimeters by using a smaller bearing, but 608 is the type most people usually have lying around.The design has a stop that prevents it from spinning more than around 340ish degrees, give or take. The purpose is to prevent the cable from getting wrapped around the base due to the lamp spinning more than 1 turn in the same direction.There's recesses in the bottom of the base to fit anti-slip rubber pads.On the inside it uses a ball bearing in the middle to keep everything together and 6mm balls running in a groove to keep the plate stable. You can use airsoft BBs in lieu of steel balls, I did.There's a very slight lip on the top of the upper half that fits just around the rubber feet of the lamp, keeping it centered and should help to prevent it from sliding off the base.I also made an alternate design of the top half with 5 spurs coming out of its sides. They make it a bit more visible but it allows you to use your foot to turn the lamp instead of grabbing and turning the lamp itself.BOM:1x 608 ball bearing6x anti-slip adhesive rubber pads, 15x9mm, any thickness as long as it's more than 1.5mm. I used 2mm.62x (more or less) 6mm spheres. I used airsoft BBs. You can use steel balls if you rather. Notes: Print the files as they're oriented, with supports on. You'll wind up with a Z seam inside of the 6mm ball groove. This needs to be sanded off to ensure smooth turning. Push-fitting ball bearings is annoying. There isn't much room for error and I can't possibly account for other people's printers being more or less precise than mine. Be aware that you might have to sand the parts if too tight or add some tape if too loose.
