CrystalLamp

Описание

**Overview** I like crystals and from some time I think how to create good looking crystals combined with lamp. This is my approach to this topic. **Electric parts you need.** The easiest way is to use electrical parts designed specific for this kind of lamp. Provides easy installation without the need for soldering. **It is available on Amazon ** [Amazon link](https://amzn.to/3zAnd6c)  You can also search for each part separately. You will need led stripe - best are LED COB 8 mm charger for LED strip dc connector - I used 2.1/5,5 mm , the diameter of the mounting hole is 12 mm On-Off switch alternatively you can use dimmer instead of typical on-off switch **WARNINGS** Led strips can emits some heat depends on what type of LED you and voltage you use. In this project when I use COB Led from the kit the Main Frame achieved about 42 °C, and when I used COB Led with more power the frame achieved 58 °C. In this project I used PLA for black parts and PETG translucent and such temperature is not the problem. But it depends on filament you use. If you have problem with filament which bend due to temperature try to use ASA instead of PLA. **Printing** Printed with 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layer height, PLA for black parts (you can also use ASA). PETG translucent for Crystals. Crystals print with tree supports on bed only, rest part without supports **Instruction** [Instruction with images on Imgur](https://imgur.com/a/Be6bYLI) 1.Glue led strip to inner side of Main Frame 2.Put Crystals into Main Frame. 3.Crystals Have a little gap in the bottom with small carve. This gap with bump (red arrow) should be placed in the bottom like on picture. 4.Insert front panel into The Main Frame. 5.There is two type of Front Panel. Full Glow and With Shade. Full Glow passing full light through base of Crystals. Version with shade blocks light and pass it only into crystals. I recommend panel with shade. It is assure more realistic glow of crystals. However if you want more light choose panel Full Glow. 6.Front Panel has cutouts at the bottom. This cutouts should be placed and the bottom of lamp and match with bump on Crystals. 7. Insert the electric part into the base and connect them. 8.There is two type of base. One is holes place for dimmer and AC/DC connector. Second is with holes for on-off switch and AC/DC connector. I also add base in step format so you can cutout holes like you want for electric parts you have. 9.Connect Frame with Base 10.You can also close base with cover. It fit tightly 11.In the end you can also print pedestal and present there whatever you want. And it everything:) Have Fun :)
