A Futuristic load cell desk lamp!

My entry for the Filament Purge Design Contest!

Changelog:

• 2024-04-06: Initial release
• 2024-04-23: Updated the model to accommodate the "WS2812B RGB LED Strip Light" sold on the Bambu Store.

Simple LED strip:

Easy mode #1:  Easiest way! Using the "WS2812B RGB LED Strip Light" from the bambu store, simply pass the wire through the gap, pass the LEDs through the "middle" part (the hole in the "middle" part has been updated to be long enough for the LED to pass through), put the hole cap on and connect the leds!

Components:
LED strip

Easy mode #2: Simply assemble the base and middle, make the connections as indicated in the image below, wrap the LED strip around the central pillar, pass the wire through the hole provided for this purpose on the central pillar, pass the wire through the designated path in the base, cover the bottom hole with the hole cap, plug the wire into the PSU, fill the lamp with filament poop, close the top, and voila! Optionally, you can also change the color to one of your choice by printing the "Optional color changer" in the print profiles and sliding it around the central pillar!

Components:
PSU
LED strip
Wires (take “2pin”)

ESP WLED with LED matrix
Hard mode: Assemble the base and middle, make the connections as indicated in the image below, configure WLED, wrap the LED matrix around the central pillar and attach it with rubber bands or zip ties, insert the electronic components into the central pillar (there is enough space to insert those I recommend using in the list below), pass the power cord through the hole provided for this purpose on the central pillar, pass the wire through the designated path in the base, cover the bottom hole with the hole cap, plug the wire into the PSU, fill it with filament poop, close the top, and voila! You now have 64 individually addressable LEDs to create lot of effects! I recommand the “Aurora” effect for a convincing loadcell effect!

A video of the building process can be viewed here (in french).

Components:
PSU
ESP01
Regulator
LED matrix (take the 8x8)
Wires (take “3pin”)

Recommended settings:
Layer height of 0.12mm, minimum 0.15
Elephant's foot compensation of 0.15mm
Translucid filament for the "middle"
No supports needed
Vase mode with a 5mm brim and no bottom layer fot the “Color changer” model
