Sky Lite Custom Lamp Stand, Closer

prusaprinters

CRITICAL NOTE The NeoPixel Jewel I put in my Sky Lite isNOT a drop in replacement for the existing LED. I amnot using the Sky Lite pcb whatsoever, but instead driving all of the hardware with my own microcontroller and board with and customized version of WLED. I will likely write this project up elsewhere ALSO OF NOTE I printed my test piece in PLA but the lamp does get pretty warm if you are running at full brightness.I suggest printing this in PETG or ABS. I received a (Blisslights Sky Lite)[https://www.amazon.com/BlissLights-Sky-Lite-Projector-Ambiance/dp/B07L8R5PK6] for Christmas. While the blue light was nice and the visual effect was great, I've recently been experimenting with NeoPixel (RGB, individually addressable LEDs) projects and I wanted to be able to use one or more Neopixels to output the color instead of just a single blue LED. I ended up going with the (Adafruit NeoPixel Jewel RGBW)[https://www.adafruit.com/product/2860]. I completely replaced the existing LED and the board it is placed on with this stand which has mounting holes for the Jewel. When I originally designed this mount, I placed the Jewel at about the same distance as the original LED. I've since discovered this is a mistake - the focal point of the lens is over 20mm closer to the lens. This revision moves the LEDs much closer to the lens. Print in provided orientation WITH supports. Print Settings Printer Brand: Prusa Printer: i3 MK3 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.3 Infill: 80% Filament: Hatchbox PLA 1.75 Copper Notes: The LEDs will get kind of hot. I recommend printing in ABS or PETG. Post-Printing ============= Disconnect the original Sky Lite PCB and use your own microcontroller and supporting circuit since the original PCB will have no idea what to do with Neopixels - don't even try.rnrnRemove supports. Carefully remove the original part (it is glued down, but some wiggling allowed me to free mine). Insert the new stand. Category: Decor
