New Design with Universal Segment Arrives Check out the latest addition on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1703104 As of August 13th, 2016, look for a picture and zip file named "shades" that will revolutionize your assembly and soldering experience. This innovative lamp is designed to control shadows while you work, taking the mundane out of manual labor. Instead of simply gluing an LED strip to an aluminum bar, I wanted to push the boundaries of creativity and inspiration. The Art Deco and Imperial architecture styles have always fascinated me, and the Roman Empire's grandeur has been a constant source of admiration. During my research on old Roman architecture online, I discovered endless sources of excitement and inspiration for designing the base of this bridge. Stay tuned as I add some magic to it - IR proximity sensors inside each segment that will switch it on and off with just your hand gestures, and three rotary encoder knobs to adjust the RGB components of the LED strip. Print Settings Printer: Purusa i3 Original Kit Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.25 Infill: 15 Notes: Slicer - Simplify3D. Printing each segment vertically proved to be a challenge, and I had to fiddle extensively with supports before achieving the desired result. Although I have some defects, this is not a problem for me as I will repair what's wrong. However, it's essential to note that this design is not ready for mass production yet. I'm grateful for the magical feature of Simplify3D that prints support structures flawlessly. Even with such fragile construction, supports broke away without any damage, making it possible to complete this project.

Added Fritzing schematics of wire connections and export to PDF. Shades I found that LEDs were shining directly into my eyes, so I designed nice shades to block direct light from them.
