Whimsical Dodecahedron Lamp - Siri/HomeKit Enabled!

prusaprinters

We have had this lamp proudly displayed in our home in our foyer for nearly a year now and we get lots of compliments on it! It is super easy to print. This lamp assembles from 12 sides all printed flat on the printer's bed, which then discreetly snap together to form the dodecahedron shape. The lamp can be controlled via Siri via Homebridge. Using the Home app on my iOS devices, I can easily control the color, brightness and on/off state at will with the familiar interface that I use with other devices. You can even use it in HomeKit Automations. Or, use the Siri commands: "Hey Siri, turn the Prusa lamp on." "Hey Siri, set the brightness of the Prusa lamp to 100%" "Hey Siri, set the color of the Prusa lamp to [insert any color you like here!]" or "Hey Siri, set the color of the Prusa lamp to Warm White" to get back to the normal state. Here's a action video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEdUgrDMRQQ This is powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero and a Unicorn pHAT which offers an excellent about of lighting for this project and with a high level of flexibility. I've even added a couple of bonus "colors" which are more like effect modes: "Hey Siri, set the color of the Prusa lamp to Candlelight" will simulate a flickering candle inside the lamp. "Hey Siri, set the color of the Prusa lamp to Ocean Boat Blue" will create a slowly undulating blue wave effect, and "Hey Siri, set the color of the Prusa lamp to Razzmatazz" will create a cycling rainbow effect.

Print the base in Galaxy Black PLA for the first 10mm of the print. At the next layer (10.2mm) switch to white PLA. This is also at 0.2mm layer height and 15% infill. If you use the provide base.3mf file, it will stop and prompt a color/filament change at the right place for you. Also, print the set of pins. These are used instead of hardware for fixing the Raspberry Pi Zero on its mounts on the base. Route the power cable through the hole, then through the slot on the bottom and out the back. For an extra nice touch, affix 3 round rubber/silicon bubble-feet on the bottom, approximately 120° apart.
