This appears to be a design for an arch-shaped desk lamp made from 3D-printed parts. The design includes a dimmer circuit and uses an LED strip as the light source. Here's a breakdown of the steps involved in building this lamp: 1. **Printing the Parts**: The following parts must be printed: - 7 `arch-lamp-body.stl` - 7 `arch-lamp-connector.stl` - 6 `arch-lamp-lid.stl` (transparent) - 2 `arch-lamp-lid.stl` (not transparent) - 1 `arch-lamp-foot-body.stl` - 1 `arch-lamp-foot-lid.stl` - 1 `arch-lamp-body-end.stl` These parts can be printed with PLA filament, using a 40% fill density, 0.2mm layer height, 3 vertical contours, and 3 horizontal contour envelopes. 2. **Rework and Assembly**: After printing the parts, they need to be carefully sanded with 100 grit sandpaper to remove any unevenness and roughen the surface for painting. The parts are then painted using acrylic paints from Vallejo's Model Air line, applied by brush. The colors used are from the Set1 (6 basic colors). After the paint is dry, a copper finish is applied using wax metal finisher from Rub'nBuff in shade "Spanish Copper". This is done to create a worn-out look with exposed copper. 3. **Assembly**: The LED strip and transparent cover are installed into the arc as it is glued together. Once the arc is complete, it is glued into the lamp base. 4. **Soldering Work**: After all parts are assembled, the soldering work on the dimmer circuit can be completed. 5. **Operation**: Finally, the lamp is ready to use after the soldering work is finished. This design seems like a fun project for anyone interested in 3D printing and DIY electronics.
