Simple Spiral Lamp (ESP32 and WLED)

thingiverse

BOM: 100ish grams of filament in your preferred color. 85ish grams of filament in clear 6 x M3 heat set inserts 6 x M3 Screws (short but no exact length needed.) 29cm strip of LEDs, 5v addressable (I used 144 LEDs/m, but you can use whatever you want.) ESP32 Not vital but female pin connectors made this a breeze. I had a strip of lights and several ESP32s lying around so I decided to make something with them. I ended up with this very simple but neat looking lamp. My printer (Ender 5 pro w/ ABL) was able to make the top piece out of PLA with no supports @ 0% infill, but your millage may vary. If you attempt supportless printing, turn your bed heater off or set it lower than normal. I wasn't able to repeat that miracle with my clear PETG, but you can support blocker the last 1/8 or so of the turn with little degradation of quality. As for the WLED installation, make sure to cap your LEDs power draw to whatever your board can support (probably <1 amp). I had trouble with the normal base (with the ESP32 upside down at the bottom of the base, because it made the WiFi connection very unreliable. So the upright version (WIP) is coming in case you're less worried about the little red light from the ESP shining through your top and want a better WiFi signal. Other than that, the diffuser is glued to the top, and I'd recommend hex screws so you can get an allen wrench on screw right underneath the spiral. Entire lamp is about 9.5in (24cm) tall and 3in (7.5cm wide), and at peak draw for my WLED config is 2.5 watts. You aren't gonna light an entire room with it but for a piece of decor lighting, it's fairly bright.
