Hue-Integrated Corner Floor Light using Muzata U103

Description

I really like the tall thin Hue corner light, and had a spot where I needed that form factor, but I'm not willing to shell out $250 for it - and the $150 Govee version doesn't integrate with Hue. For under $100, this design gives a similar form factor, hiding off-the-shelf controllers and power supplies into a base, which also serves as the base for the beam. ## Components: - Base Lower: This is the round bottom bit that forms the support for everything else, and hides all the electronics. It has zip-tie attachment points to allow the power supply and LED controller to be secured; they also act as weight to add stability. There's a cutout for a standard power cord to be attached. This is easily printed upside down, with the only supports needed being under the zip-tie crossbeams and in the power cord cutout hole. There is a pattern of holes on the top that are used to secure the other components. - Base Upper: This bit is what interfaces between the base lower bit and the aluminum tube. It is a VERY snug fit, but that was intentional so that it seems like a finished unit. The aluminum sleeve can slide into the top of the cone, and there are appropriate cutouts to feed the LED wires through (that go into the base). The pins on the bottom interface with the vertical holes in the base bottom to provide support - they are tight, and if one breaks it doesn't matter because of the Pins. This prints very nicely oriented normally; the pins start on the plate, and the support structure comes off as a single piece with some careful putty knife action around the edge. There are angles that allow the support removal to be imperfect, and the only places that may need to be cleaned up are around the outside edge. - Pins: These fit through the base bottom up into the base upper at an angle, and are what fully anchor the two pieces together. You'll need 3 of these. - Tube Length Connector: To allow this to be any height you want it to be, multiple lengths of tubing can be combined using this piece; it contains a slot to allow the LED strip to fit through unimpeded, and has cutouts that allow for support while diffusing the light around the breakpoint so there isn't a hard line in the projected light. I used two sections, giving me a 2 meter high fixture. I recommend gluing this in place for additional stability with an instance CA glue; because it's only on the inside, it can't provide the same support as the bottom code that goes on the outside as well. - Tube Top Cap: This fits on the top of your top section to give it a finished appearance. ## Additional Items: - Tubing (Muzata 16mm U103 BW) ($6/meter): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R94SLPN - Light Strip ($7/meter): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B099DWWNLC - Hue-compatible LED strip controller (GLEDOPTO) ($40): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KDL8MHX - Power Supply (20): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GC6VS8I If you'd like to remix this, you can find it on TinkerCAD: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/eyhNRXtAPn8
