Lithophane Globe Base

thingiverse

This base was engineered to support the LEDs, Wemos D1 Mini, and a push-button for turning on/off/toggling colors. I installed the WLED firmware on the D1 Mini since it enabled seamless operation of the push button. Settings for the Lithophane sphere are clearly outlined below. However, it's essential to note that the Cylinder Inner Diameter is not listed but can be calculated by subtracting twice the cylinder thickness from the outer diameter (OD - 2xT) = 60mm. The design at the base where it meets the sphere measures 55mm for effortless rotation of the sphere as needed to display any side. It also allows a USB cable to run underneath and connect to the D1 Mini core. I utilized hot glue to secure everything in place, as evident from the photos provided. Sphere settings: - Sphere Diameter: 140 - Picture Angular Height: 150.00 - Picture Angular Width: 300.00 - Maximum Thickness: 2.8 - Minimum Thickness: 0.5 - Cylinder Outer Diameter: 70 - Cylinder Height: 25 - Cylinder Thickness: 5 - Cylinder Ledge Outer Diameter: 75 - Top Hole Outer Diameter: 0 - X Shift: 0.00 - Y Shift: 0.00 These are the components used: - Cable for D1 Mini Power - https://amzn.to/2SyI2rm - Wemos D1 Mini - https://amzn.to/37tjTqz - Push Button (10 pack) - https://amzn.to/2SvLOBQ - Power Supply - https://amzn.to/39pvDfd
