New assembly video and pictures under construction

DNA desktop lamp with Wled or Fastled control, 3D printed with a combination of FDM and SLA. The model will accept the Wemos D1 mini (esp8266) or any same form factor controller like the wemos S2 mini (ESP32S2 based) which i tested and is now also supported by the new Wled V0.14.0
To connect the power supply you will need a DC-015 5.5X2.1MMJack connector and corresponding power supply
Led strips are WS2812B 5v type 10mm wide and with these i didn't need any level converters;

All parts can be printed using FDM (filament) printers, except the lenses which need to be printed with an SLA (resin) printer.

You can theoretically make the lamp as high as you want (as long as gravity alows it) using the 5 or 10 led extensions.

2 holes which will accept countersunk M5 screws are made in the base of the lamp. They allow you to fill the hollow part with sand to make the lamp heavier. Needles to say, DO NOT FILL WITH ANY LIQUID, USE ONLY SAND.

More updates will come for this lamp, as i'm still experimenting with for example small microfones to make it sound reactive, other electronics,...

I'm sorry to have to ask money for this model, but making the build video made me realize a desperately need a beter PC;
I filmed everything with my (rather cheap) phone and edited the video on a B450M-A with ryzen 5 2600 16GB ram and 500GB SSD) Any profits from this will go to saving up for a completely new system and camera to make better videos and models.
I'm also open to any sponsoring offer that could ease the pain ;)
And of course i'm counting on everybody to share and like.

If you want to sell these, you can always contact me to make an arrangement.
Any suggestions are also welcome as long as they're constructive.

I printed these with Silk- like PLA

Everything should be straight-forward, you can see my print- and assembly video for more details, but keep in mind that you should calibrate you printer, because tolerances are quite tight. Also make sure you have decent bed-adhesion specially for the led extensions.
I manage to print the 10- led extensions easely on my custom printer, but i made some shorter 5-led extensions should you have difficulties. Also use an inside and outside brim for these extensions (i use up to 25 lines)
I also use a 0.4 (2 layer) Z-hop for obvious reasons when i print the base and the extensions. could take a while to print all the parts specially the base.
Approx. print times on my printer:
10 led base about 13h
6x 10 led extensions about 4.5h
top and bottom covers about 3h
Lenses (SLA) about 5-6h

I print the lenses straight on the build plate of my resin printer, but you need to watch out for elephants foot since this could make fitting them a pain in the *ss.
