RGB Double Helix Lamp - Remix

thingiverse

Remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4812520 Inspired by the Remix: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5456155 I made the following modifications to the original files: - Modified the base to added a USB-C connector and increased the height of the base to give myself more room to wire everything: Base_USB_C.stl - Added a hole in the base for the switch for mode selection. The switches I bought were a bit too tall: Base_USB_C_w_hole.stl I used a USB Type-C Breakout Board something like: https://www.amazon.com/Type-C-Breakout-Serial-Connector-Converter/dp/B09KC1SMGD/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=usb%2Bc%2Bboard&qid=1671392285&sprefix=usb%2Bc%2Bboard%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-4&th=1 - Modified the Helix caps to be rounded and removed the 'Key'. I printed these with support with the open side down: Helix_Cap_Spherical.stl - Modified the nano plate holder to have slots for the headers since my Nano came with headers/pins. I also cut out some space for the various SMD chips so it sits a bit nicer: Nano_Plate.stl / Nano_Plate_Rotated.stl - Modified the lower 20mm of the Helix so that the LED strips can come out straighter without having to be bent. I had a hard time getting the stips to thread through the orginal Helix designs because of this bend. The mod for this looks pretty ugly internally, but it is very functional: Helix-Strip_10mm_60LED_per_Meter_Modified.stl
