LUMA FLUX Lamp - extreme modern organic WLED

Warning! This model has a high level of difficulty. It requires soldering skills, special materials, and a lot of patience.

There is also a simpler, smaller version of this model for the LED Lamp Kit 001: Luma Flux

The lamp is printed in two parts because the total height measures almost 42 cm. The LEDs are controlled using an ESP32 controller. It is an advantage if you already have some experience with WLED or similar LED controller software (many questions have already been answered in the comments)

The groove in the 5 organic recesses requires a special, very narrow 5 mm LED strip

1x Power supply 5 Volts at 6 Amps

1x DC power jack 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm

5x Resistor 470 Ohm

1x Cable 20AWG 3-Pin

1x SM JST 3-Pin LED Connector

1x Presto NC filler

Cables, clamps, soldering iron, possibly a hot glue gun

I printed my model in black, glued it together, filled it, sanded it, and primed it gray. Then, I applied some white acrylic paint with a sponge to achieve a concrete look

The ESP32 controller with WLED software can be installed at the bottom in the stand base. I connected each LED strip as its own output to a separate GPIO (an ESP8266 might have too little processing power for the approximately 500 LEDs)

The LED strips are carefully pressed into the recess. The wiring is done through the designated tubes, one 3-pin line for each strip. The settings are made in the WLED software

Finally, the white silicone tubes are pressed into the recesses as diffusers and cut as precisely as possible to butt joints (in some places, the bending radius is so small that the silicone tube starts to kink. In this case, I inserted a small piece of transparent straw into the silicone tube to provide more shape stability)

[ Optionally, it is possible to place additional LEDs inside on the base and cover them with glass stones. This gives the lamp a captivating appearance. A small hole can be drilled from below for the cables. ]

Initially, I did not intend to publish this large version on MakerWorld. However, the great interest from the community changed my mind 😍
I hope my instructions are understandable. However, I am happy to help in the comments with questions or problems 🤓
