RGB DOUBLE HELIX LAMP - easyprint (diffusors needs very slow print)
Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
3D printed double helix lamp
printing hints:
all 3d parts can print without support, only add brim to some parts (diffusers and helix, but I printed diffusers without brim),
I printed this diffusers with glow in the dark PLA in vase mode verry slowly (16 minutes per part or slower and print environment temperature around 25 degree celsius),
print height for helix needed is 200 mm (print time 5 hours per part),
electronic parts :
arduino nano
WS2812B strip 2x 14 LED's (60 leds per meter) 10 mm width!
micro switch (6x6x10)
power outlet and power supply (or use usb power)
In my video I have used some examples from the fastled library to show you some possible effects and how beautiful a rainbow can look. ;)
I am very curious about the programs and functions that you implement. Would be great if one or the other would share their example code.
hints and links:
you can use any led strip that is 10 mm wide and has 60 leds per meter
I think this should work:

you just have to be careful, there are strips that are wider than 10 mm!
If your button is too short, take some glue and stick something on it. If it is too long, sand it off. There are tons of such buttons on Ebay or Amazon.…
