Led Bridge Lamp Universal Segment

myminifactory

The change log is located at the bottom. The purpose of creating this new design for the Led Bridge Lamp is to resolve several issues and incorporate improvements suggested by numerous lamp builders and contributors. Constricted workspace? Print only half of the arc and rotate the base by 90 degrees. Need a wider arc? Add some middle segments! Want to make it taller? Scale the middle piece of the base. Now includes a straight segment. Additional information About the model 1. Previously, due to the oval shape of the arc, each lamp segment was unique. The new design is universal, making the lamp arc round instead of oval, which makes it less appealing but more functional in my opinion. 2. Due to common issues with material curling and stringing, I made it possible to print the segment completely flat. In this case, it has to be assembled from several pieces. Yes, I have included one-piece segments as well for those who don't care about assembly. 3. Reduced fragility by enlarging struts from 2 mm to 4 mm. Now it is cat-proof! 4. Instead of using glue to join segments together, I added locking tabs to make it possible to take segments apart, add new ones, bring the lamp to the show, or recover from a cat attack. 5. New base part has two interchangeable sections - the middle one to easily make the base taller by scaling and the top one to enable base rotation to 90 degrees if the base is used for a help arc desk lamp. 6. Added room for two LED strips, more light for the benches! 7. Made a deep groove to hide LEDs from direct eye sight, reducing stress on the vision. 8. In my version, the groove is white and glows when lit. So beautiful! 9. Added room for embedded electronics modules (proximity sensor and docking connectors for 1-Wire network). The following segment sets are available: 1. LBLUC-segment one piece.stl - for those who don't want to bother with segment assembly and don't care about LED strip light guide being cool white. 2. LBLUC-segment set.stl - all parts printed flat to assemble segment top and sides 3. LBLUC-light guides.stl - two parts of light guides, to be printed in white or translucent plastic. 4. Zip file with all STL parts separate. Change log 26.12.2016 When hot, LED stripes melt glue and start falling down. I had to design this part to guide the LED stripe inside it. Print it from clear PLA - LED_channels.stl 17.09.2016 TimKoster spotted missing lock tab (facepalm) LBLUC_segment_curved_onepiece_170916.stl 16.09.2016 TimKoster spotted wrong uploaded one-piece parts, I fixed them. LBLUC_segment_straight_onepiece_160916.stl LBLUC_segment_curved_onepiece_160916.stl 06.09.2016 Porky6666 and timograw requested a straight segment. LBLUC-straight-combined.stl (one piece vertical part) LBLUC-straight-flat.stl (to assemble segment from flat printed parts) LBLUC-straight-parts.zip (individual parts archive) LBLUC_foot_mountingPiece_mama_v6.stl (corrected mating "mama" part) 30.08.2016 Closing part for half-bridge. You can glue two half-bridges together. End cap for half-bridge.stl Or you can use two different foot mounting parts - "mama" and "papa" LBLUC_foot_mountingPiece_mama.stl LBLUC_foot_mountingPiece_papa.stl 09.08.2016 sobo84 spotted my silly error in one-piece segment. Corrected and uploaded new design LBLUC_segment_onepiece_090916.stl
