RGB "Energy saving lamp"

thingiverse

This is an "energy saving lamp" model featuring double-sided RGB-LED stripes inside. I utilized two 1.5-meter LED strips, which are bonded together at the middle to emit light in a direction of 360 degrees. These are standard LED strips without rubber covers, widely available online. To ensure optimal quality, purchase high-quality strips, as I encountered issues with two out of three used strips emitting excessive heat and warping the PLA print. Sixty LEDs per meter were also a contributing factor, but not the primary reason for this issue. Three openings facilitate guiding the strip through the print. Begin on the side closest to the first curve. To assist in positioning the strip, tie a string to a drill bit and the strip. Once you reach the first opening, use the string to pull while pushing by hand. I experienced no difficulties inserting the strips or damaging them during insertion, provided they are of good quality. Two out of three strips partially failed due to faulty resistors in front of the red LEDs breaking off, likely a production issue. The strips themselves are generally very durable.
