Description

3D printed double helix lamp

(the base was designed to color change by layer change - no multimaterial option needed)
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 very 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 or ESP8266 or similar (you can use WLED software)
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. If you want, use an ESP8266 and the freely available WLED software. You can also control the Helix via WiFi.

Cool build. Having a little issue with printing the base, casuse of the design portion is floating and not possible to get a support under it. Is there possible to get the step files for this to make some minor adjustments?

The designer has replied

@HEDO3D

in slicer you can separate to objects and delete the inbuild support

@paulg

Replying to @HEDO3D :

The model would be easier to print if the helix inlaid in the base was flush with the build plate. I think that's what @sivert.lokkesve was asking about. Separating into parts does not help with that. Could you upload a version of the base with a flush inset please?

@paulg

Slice 0.25 mm off the bottom of the base. Doing so made the design portion flush with the build plate.

Nice model, in general I like it. But the base has some difficulties. @HEDO3D Would it be possible that you upload the STEP file for the base as well so that I can build a remix with a bit changed base? That would be very nice, thank you.
