Star Wars LED Lamp

thingiverse

Fully 3D printable Star Wars LED lamp! ***Update 18th July 2021 A 50% scaled-down version has been requested and uploaded as two STL files "Star Wars 50% Shells.stl" and "Star Wars 50% Diffusers.stl". The scaled-down version is 181mm in total width which would fit on most printers and can be printed in place. No glue is required to stick the letters together. If you are looking for an easy print, go with the 50% scaled-down version as it would be much easier than the full-sized version. The total print time of the scaled-down version is approx. 10 hours only. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .Step file is included if you would like to make any changes or have a look at how the whole thing should look like when printed. This design was inspired by the YouTube channel "Duke Doks". The link to their specific video on how to design the letters is attached. Each letter of this design is listed as a separate file as I wanted to create a big lamp that could be hung on the wall. There is a total of 4 screw holes on the back in order to be hung on the wall. If you feel that this lamp is too big or you'd like to make it even bigger ;) you can scale each letter directly from your slicer. This should make it quite easy to change the size according to your needs. At 100% scale, the dimensions of the lamp are: Length: 165mm Width: 370mm Height: 30mm 1. Assembly Instructions: - Use regular super glue in order to stick the letters together. - Run the LED strip starting from the last letter "S", running all the way through all the letters and ending back at the S. The strip can bridge from under the W (of Wars) to S1 (of Star) from underneath. I recommend using the right-hand rule strategy like in Mazes ;) - Fit back the white printed diffusers to their respective locations over the LED strip and Voila! 2. Print Instructions: - Please make sure you print the correct letter for each word. Files with number 1 are the letters that belong to the word "Star", while files with number 2 are letters that belong to the word "Wars". R1 and R2 are different and neither should be duplicated. - All parts require no support. I recommend using low-quality layer heights such as 0,28mm with high speeds (I have gone up to 70 mm/s). As long as you find the right balance to you that does not sacrifice too much quality for speed. - For the diffusers, I used regular white colour filament from GiantArm. I would recommend having at least 3-4 bottom layers so that the LED lights are diffused well, rather than seeing spots everywhere. 3. Important Notice - Please note that the CAD files have been slightly modified compared to the printed model displayed in the pictures, to improve the overall design aesthetics and ease of assembly.
