Description

This rotating base is the perfect way to show off your stunning moon lamp.

Designed for use with the LED puck that comes with the Bambu Lab lamp kit and Tom Fullen's SVS NASA Moon Globe (100 or 90% scale)

edit: I now have a version with a motor to rotate automatically, you can find it here

The LED puck fits perfectly with the cable routed through the centre and out the back of the base.

Bearing (Optional)

The model was designed around the 6205 bearing which is big enough to allow the USB plug and switch to pass through the centre. I've included a print in place bearing on plate 2 (credit: KevinJarta)

After printing I found it spins pretty well without the bearing, so maybe give it a try without before printing the bearing.

Assembly

Assembly is very straight forward, assemble parts as shown below.

The bearing (if used) will be positioned correctly by the rails in the base and main body parts. You can add some lubricant to the bearing to improve smoothness.
Once assembled check that the bottom of part 1 is flush with the bottom of the base (part 4). If not, place on hard surface and push part 2 down hard and it should click into place. Also check that the cable notch in the bottom of part 1 aligns with the notch in part 4, if not, twist from the top to align.

Route the USB cable through from the top and position in notches.

Don't have the LED lamp kit?

If you don't have the LED lamp kit, you can buy the LED puck from AliExpress

does this work with this model ? https://makerworld.com/en/models/31191#profileId-27822

If you printed both my base and that moon model as designed, then no, they won't fit together as the base is too big. If you scale down my model to 75% and not use the included base on the moon model then I think it will fit. But the kit LED puck will still be too big to fit inside the moon model so you would also have to sink the moon model into the bed by a small amount, maybe 2mm, to widen the opening at the bottom. If you haven't printed the moon yet, I would just print Tom Fullen's version I link to above as that definitely works.

Replying to @nadnerb33 :

unfortunately I already have printed the moon for my daughter's. thanks for the response though :)

@notcranium

How is this supposed to attach to the moon? Does the puck remain in the base or does it just sit on this assembly? Does the moon just sit on top of this?

The designer has replied

@nadnerb33

The puck sits on top of part 1 of the base (fix in place using the sticky pad on the back of the puck). The moon then sits on top of part 2 in the recessed part. You could glue in place or use double sided tape but there's enough friction to be able to rotate it without fixing it, I also prefer it removable as I swap it out with my Jupiter model too.

Base and Bearing Print Profile is just Perfect. Printed the Base in PETG and the Bearing in PLA. Both Parts are Great. Thank You. Waiting for PETG Filament to Print the Moon.
