Low-cost modular Lamp
Description
I Have Been Working In This Design For Weeks, Trying To Improve His Printability, And Making It As Simple And Smooth As Possible. The *Original Idea* Was To Create An Affordable Modular Lamp, Providing The Chance To Build Real-Size Lamps With A Domestic Fdm 3D Printer (21 X 20 Cm Maximum Printing Size). The Only Parts That Are Not Printable Are The Electrical Stuff: Wires, Led Strips, Etc. ### Technical Requirements: ### Additional Technical Requirements Taken Into Account Are Described Below, In Descending Order Of Significance: · Simple Design, Reducing As High As Possible The Number Of Required Parts. The Ideal Would Be An Unique Part Which Would Be Repeated And Assemble In The Correct Position. · Simple Geometry, In Order To Be Printed Without Support. It Would Be Perfect If The Parts Are Unibody, Without Additional Pieces, Covers Or Gears. · Fully Printable · It Should Be Highly Modular, Allowing The Assembly Of 3 Or More "Floors". · Low-Cost · Nice Looking Appearance. *About This Version:* This Is A Definitive Version, With Lot Of Improvements Since The First Prototype Release. Each Ring Adds A Height Of Aproximately 12Cm, And Theorically You Can Assembly As Many As You Want Until The Ceiling Doesn'T Let You Continue (~2.5Meters). If You Set A New Height Record, Please Share Your Achievement With Us!! You Can See Below A Brief Description Of The Main Improvements: #### Update V.22 #### · Joints Between Rings Have Been Redesigned. Now They Are Stronger, And Have Been Checked To Fit Perfectly. I Have Printed Them Several Times Because Of The Tight Tolerance, But Now They Are Able To Fix The Angle To The Intended One With No Error. #### Update V1.0 #### · Supports Redesigned. Now They Are Really Easy To Remove! · New Diffuser Design. With A 0,4Mm Width They Are Absolutely Flexible Even If They Are Printed In Pla. · New Cover For The Top Ring. · Added A Hole In The Base For The Ir Sensor. · Base Holes Are All Normalised. You Can See The Addittional Components Table For Further Information. ### Future Development: ### I Am Also Working In An Automated Version, With One Degree Of Freedom. I Won'T Tell You Anything Else So You Can Imagine :P
