Polar Cap for the Moon Lamps South

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted my moon lamp to really be a globe, round on all sides.</p><p>A tiny addition to the models of urbaier and Bazt: a moonishly rounded cap for what would be the south pole of the moon lamp. 37 layers at 0,16mm layer height, with an oval shaped hole so the usb plug can still go in. An hours' print, glued to the plane bottom of the led holder with some hot glue (which I then carefully &nbsp;reduced where it sipped out at the edge by carving knifes and sanding).</p><p>It's not truly south polar, I just took a slice from the opposite side. So, while not really truthful this nonetheless makes your moon lamp special: not many solar system bodies exist with dual north poles, do they?</p><p>I printed it with the same settings I did the moon with: 0,16mm layer height, (first layer 0,32), 100% infill, no support, rather fast speed. It may need a bit cleaning on the inside but not much.</p><p>I took the [led holder from Bazt](<a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/100421-clean-d1-mini-led-body-for-the-moon-lamp">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/100421-clean-d1-mini-led-body-for-the-moon-lamp</a>) You'll find both the holder and a lid, printed ~3h for me.</p><p>The [moonLamp itself](https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/64520-moon-lamp-led-strip-mount-ws2812b) comes with a few files you may or may not need, the globe file is huge and OctoPrint, the printTimeGenius-plugin and the printer's stability got a good test. The globe printed 41h here with no supports but some serious brim. (Ender3 with a SKR mini v1.2 so I can print rather fast).</p><p>Firmware for the moonLamo still needs some polishing but basically is a variation on the fastLED sketch I nourish and care for all my led strips. But for the lamp I gave it an extra web server interface for settings and a restore-settings routine so it can be used even without the usual mqtt interface at home.</p>
