Minecraft Creeper lamp by Claymore

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

Creeper shaped LED lamp with shaking head.
Designed to be printed with 5 colors printer (ie MK3 + MMU2).
It can still be printed with less colors by merging parts in the slicer.
Supplies needed
12V LED Strip cut to get a load of about 6W:
example: 40cm cut of 5050 LED strip

12V Power supply (min 6W) with 5.5 plug. Better with integrated switch:
example: 12v power supply with switch

Female 5.5 plug for case mount:
example: Male/Female DC 12 Connectors

20mm diameter spring (length 50mm):
example: 1.2x20x50mm spring

4xM3 screws for body mount:
min thread length: 10 mm
max thread length: 20 mm

4xM3 screws for door mount:
min thread length: 10 mm
max thread length: 17 mm
The design requires a round shaped head (ie Allen screws)

Printing
The body+foot part needs supports on the bed,
Every part of the Head must be printed with 100% infill:
We don't want to see the infill pattern through the shaders,
There are some lithophane effects on front part that require this as well,

I used 0.2 mm layer height for head parts and 0.3 mm layer height for everything else but there is no real constraint on this parameter.
Assembly
Follow the attached photos
For the head, the following points are important:
Head parts are all different and only left and right can be swapped,
Before gluing them do some testing to be sure they fit well.
