Update:

28.03.2024 - I redesigned the lamp a bit. I made it a little thicker, so now it is compatible with 12 mm LED strip and is also stronger.

The diffuser has a larger flange and fits better into the main ring.

I enlarged each piece by 110% so it now better takes advantage of bed size of the Bambu Lab printers 

I created new print profile with this new design and will be develop this project with this size of lamp.

If you want use front panels of other designers make sure that is proper size. If it too small just easy enlarge it to 110 % in X and Y axis 

02.02.2024 - New front panel added : Deer in the forest

05.02.2024 - New front : Birds in love

Overview.

A Ring Lamp that can be changed to different situations. I designed base with various panels which can adapt to various style and occasion. You can simply change color of it as well as pattern on it, by changing color of diffuser and changing different panels.

WARNINGS

Led strips can emits some heat depends on what type of led you and voltage you use. In my case temperature of Main Ring achieve 60 °C . Due to this I recommend use filament that can resist that temperature especially for Main Ring. I tested ASA and it works well. Other high temperature filaments should work too (ABS, PETG but I didn't test it) PLA in this case can bend over time especially if you use heavy panel like budha.

So in summary I tested and recommend :

Main Ring - ASA

Base, Diffuser - PLA

Panels- PLA or ASA

If you want change panel, always wait to cool down the ring lamp, otherwise PLA cover can bend during take off.

Electric parts you need.

•  led stripe - I used: LED COB 8W/1M 12 V, 8mm wide - choose one that can be cut every 2.5 cm

• dc connector - I used 2.1/5,5 mm , the diameter of the mounting hole is 11.5 mm

• OFF-ON SWITCH

• Charger 12V

Printed Parts

Main Ring, Base and Panels can be printed in draft mode 0.28-0.30 mm layer height with no issue.

Diffuser should be printed with 0.2 mm layer height.

1. After print, glue led strip to inner side of Main Ring

Start from hole on bottom side

2. Put Main Ring into base. It should fit tight without glue.

3. Insert the electric part into the base and connect them by soldering

4. Insert Diffuser to Main Ring”. The Main Ring has a groove into which the Diffuser should be inserted and sit steadily. The flat side to the back.

5. Insert Panel into Main ring. The Panel has cuts at the bottom to avoid cutting the cables
