LED Monitor Bar to Desk Lamp Conversion

prusaprinters

<p>This is a piece to convert a monitor-mounted LED bar to a desktop standing task lamp. I bought the lamp but quickly realized I didn't like how it looked up on the monitor.</p> <p>I opted for reusing the original base because it's already weighted and has a small footprint.</p> <p>Made with DesignSpark Mechanical. A couple minor adjustments were made after I took these photos, the updated part should be better fitting.</p> <h3> Parts</h3> <p>The LED bar is the "Baseus Monitor Light Bar" USB powered LED lamp linked here:<br/> https://amazon.com/dp/B08CXL3YQ8<br/> Two M3 bolts are also good to have, I think I used 8mm? Might've been 12mm.</p> <h3> Assembly</h3> <ul> <li>Separate the bar from the base via two T9 screws on the back</li> <li>Remove the USB power board via two phillips screws</li> <li>Reinsert the two phillips screws onto the base<em>without</em> the USB board (for storage)</li> <li>Attach the printed part to the base, and secure it with the T9 / M3 screws</li> <li>Connect a USB-C cable to the board. The cutout on the printed piece is fit for the stock cable.</li> <li>Align the board and cable in the cutout so that it sits freely when assembled (see pic)</li> <li><p>Press-fit the bar onto the stand. With some wiggling it should be very snug. Printed in about 3 hours on my Ender 5 Pro. The MatterHackers black matches the bar's coloring perfectly. An unintended use-case is that it doubles as a phone stand! The rubber coating on the base works great :D</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 5</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.18</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>15% Gyroid</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> MatterHackers MH Build PLA Black <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>I recommend keeping it light but sturdy. I printed in MatterHackers Build PLA, which is my go-to. My settings were:<br/> 3 perimeters</p> <p>4 bottom, 4 top</p> <p>15% gyroid infill</p> <p>Support on buildplate</p> </div></p></p></p></p> Category: Office
