Description

Click image on mobile app to see animation

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

I printed Tom Fullen's version of moon. But it seems like the base is too large for the moon so it won’t rotate like the designer’s and the light kit just can't stay on the platform very well.

The designer has replied

@nadnerb33

what moon profile did you print? because it looks like the moon was not printed at 100% scale.

oh I see, I printed the version for a1 mini

Replying to @user_1125124945 :

this base is designed for moon models printed at 100% scale - as it says in the first sentence of the description. your issue is your moon was not printed at the correct scale so has nothing to do with this model, therefore could you please delete or adjust your review. thanks

Great print! Like others, I printed the moon for the A1 mini but I didn’t have any issues with this base, I used a dremel and slightly enlarged the opening of the moon so it would fit over the puck light, but I would’ve had to do that regardless of what stand I chose to use. Since my light isn’t corded, I just have the moon sitting on top and it rotates wonderfully. I’m thinking of cutting a ring out of a thin magnet sheet to secure it more while still being able to get to the light but even without doing so it is fairly secure.

@nadnerb33

I've printed a few moons with the A1 mini and designed a smaller base for it too. Bit late for you now, but I'll try and upload it at some point.

great design all fits are perfect press fit tolerance

@Novnitram

can i print it in PLA BASIC?

The designer has replied

@nadnerb33

yeah you definitely can, I only had PETG in black at the time I made it which is why my profile is for PETG, but I've printed many copies in PLA since then. If you download the profile you can change it in Bambu Studio to PLA. (You might even be able to change it in the app too) You could also print the A1 Mini profile I have which is set to use PLA. It's the exact same model, it's just the parts are arranged differently for the smaller A1 mini plate, but is compatible with all printers.

thanks i only use mobile app and you can change it i was just asking because of the PETG tag😉👍

@user_248246507

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

The designer has replied

@nadnerb33

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 :)

@user_4242692537

Looks terrible with the supports on the top bit and the bottom bit doesn't actually attach to anything, surely this isn't how it's supposed to be assembled?

The designer has replied

@nadnerb33

My support surface looks fine, a little rough textured maybe, but that provides friction to hold the moon which covers it anyway so not sure what the issue is. You could print it the other way but it would use more support material and give the base a texture which would create more friction on the moving parts. What do you mean the bottom bit doesn't attach to anything? This design allows the base to sit on your table/desk/shelf with the USB cable coming out the back and allows you to rotate the moon 360° without the bottom part moving/tangling up the cable. If it was attached to anything you wouldn't be able to rotate it. This is one of my first ever 3D designs and judging by the stats and ratings, it was pretty popular, but if you believe you can improve it, please go ahead and post a remix or upload a print profile with the orientation and support settings to improve it.

@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.
