LED-Lamp-Module

thingiverse

I fell in love with the concept of a modular LED-Bow-Lamp from Opossums on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1703104) and was captivated by its brilliant construction. However, upon closer inspection, I realized that it might be quite expensive due to the high cost of filament and print time, so I decided to simplify it with some optimization in material and time usage. It had to be more modular, easy to assemble without glue, and flexible with just a few tweaks. The result is what you see here: a compact module that can be combined to achieve different shapes for a sturdy bridge structure of customizable length. You can create straight or curved designs, with one or two base stands. Build a curved desk lamp using only one stand or use it as a bridge construction for your model railway train by flipping it upside down. Just build the number of modules you need, define the radius with the anchor modules, and place an LED strip underneath to create a beautiful LED lamp. One base stand is designed to house the power supply, while the other is for the opposite side if needed. To assemble the modules, simply insert a piece of 1.75-mm filament into the hinge. No glue or additional parts are required. Longer anchor modules will produce a positive radius, while shorter ones will result in a negative effect. I'm still working on my own LED lamp, but as soon as it's complete, I'll add photos of it. If you'd like to play with the design, I've attached the original FreeCAD files for your use. Experiment and have fun, and please share your creations!
