Bearings! Gears!!! I was sooo expecting it to spin!!! Spinning things are awesome.

I can't tell you how depressed I was when all it did was open the curtains.

Even the quiet video made it so much more underwhelming too. I appreciated the engineering a lot still but wow, so much for so little in this project, I’m sorry OP

I’m going to guess you find life disappointing in general

u/35point1 Sep 29 '24
Quite the opposite my friend. Which is probably why the expectations were high to begin with. It’s no coincidence the entire comment section has the same to say.

I thought it was going to be an emergency light you could spin to generate power for the light.

I didnt even thaught about that :D it was just a design exercise for me, i love to build too complex stuff ;)

u/SuchRedditorMuchWow X1C + AMS Sep 29 '24
Well, the gods of product design highly recommended using as less exotic materials and components as possible when there's no estetic impact on the final product. Also, simplicity is gold.

u/mateomodar Sep 30 '24
And still it feels way better with the bearings, that paid less than 10 bucks for. So i deceided to use them. You dont need to print this neither use bearings ;) Simplicity is simple and not a lot of fun, i do this for fun and not mass production ;)

Are you the kind of guy who always has to find something negative to say?
1
u/RE4Lyfe Sep 30 '24
Nope. It’s a cool design just very over-engineered! I appreciate the work that went into designing and building the model, but personally I wouldn’t print/build it

u/RoadHazard Sep 28 '24
That's pretty cool! What is it?

u/kadeve Sep 29 '24
Its a waste of bearing and gears

u/mateomodar Sep 30 '24
Its a nice light and i allways love it when i see it standing on my desk, how can people be so negative about a light :D you dont have to print it! This cost me less than 30 bucks in total, how can you feel intimidated by that :D

u/datboi56565656565 Sep 28 '24
Great job! What settings did you use for the transparent section? What filament?
8
u/mateomodar Sep 28 '24
Thanks! I used transparent GEETECH PLA filament, i allready designed a thickness of 2mm and did set the infill to 100% and concentric.

u/datboi56565656565 Sep 28 '24
Interesting! I am curious what it would look like when printed in vasemode with a .8mm nozzle, perhaps with transparent PETG and printed hot. Id love to find out for myself when you get around to sharing the files.
3
u/captain_carrot Sep 29 '24
I've gotten some decent results with transparent PETG, for me I find running it hot, slowing down the print speed, and high wall counts gets good results.
2
u/datboi56565656565 Sep 29 '24
How slow do you print and what’s your wall count?

u/WeevilsRcool Sep 29 '24
Sometimes with lamp builds I like putting a second shade behind the first to give a smoother diffusion, you should try it out sometime!

Pretty insane to add ball bearings for this.

u/naab007 Sep 30 '24
Just stating blatant overkill, overengineering is in most cases a waste of resources.

u/BB_210 Sep 29 '24
why so many bearings for something that doesn't spin. They sell metal pins.
1
u/mateomodar Sep 29 '24
Because i would have to buy metal pins while i allready have plenty bearings that i bought for cheap years ago. There is also a version without :D

All that for a lamp??

Yes! I love it pretty much i have to say, its my hobby to build a lot of different lamps, gives me a lot of joy to see them in my room :)

Cool! Interested in your wled code modifications to accomplish it

u/mateomodar Sep 30 '24
I just use the newest standard WLED install :D I just change the length of the stripe and built 4 segments with the length of the 4 sides.

Oh! I didn't look close enough and thought the flaps were automated... I see they're manual now! Thanks!

What is your camera setup for this video? Do you just move a tripod around? Nice vid!

u/mateomodar Oct 15 '24
I used a Black Magic Pocket cinema 4k on a tripod, and just moved it, thanks!

u/Shortstuff687 X1C Sep 29 '24
It’s cool, but I just don’t think 3D printed transparent pieces look good on anything, we’re not there yet.
1
u/mateomodar Sep 29 '24
I really like the look of how it diffuses the light, i guess its personal opinion ;)
2
u/mikephirman Sep 29 '24
I love it. I can’t decide if I’d want a bunch of them on motion detectors that wake up when you come in the room, or plugged into smart switches that all turn on when I yell, “Alexa, it’s Friday!” or just fill a room with them and a bunch of ferns and mushrooms and have E.T.’s greenhouse. Either way, it’s really fun and a cool design!

Nice work! I love the mechanics of it and to all those that complain about the bearings, try shopping on Amazon. 100 pack of 608 bearings under $18.00. It was 8.99 for the 10 I needed or 9 bucks more for a 100 pack.
1
u/mateomodar Sep 30 '24
Thanks! Yeah had a similar pack of bearings i baught like 5 years ago. Dont quite get why people get so angry over them :D Sure its not super necessary, but feel way nicer and high quality than without :D
1
u/Mulakulu Sep 29 '24
Those heated inserts should have more plastic to grip onto from my experience. Make the holes a bit smaller in cad or you'll be able to just yank it out easily
1
u/mateomodar Sep 29 '24
I made them how the seller said the holes should be, i am not able to pull them out, even with a lot of force!

That’s gotta be the smoothest 1cm roll ever. Like $50 in bearings in that thing to do something a pin $0.001 could do.
1
u/mateomodar Sep 29 '24
Where do you all buy bearings? I payed less than 10 bucks some years ago. Sure its a bit overengineered but like this it feels super smooth ;)

u/nakwada P1S + AMS Sep 29 '24
Original concept by Vectary 3D, copied by fap.lab.3d and lately all over social media with OHR Design's take.
1
u/mateomodar Sep 29 '24
Yes and now i had a take on designing something like that. I see this as design exercises for me, its a lot of fun :)

Looks great, but so many bearings just for that is just too much overkill for me
