A clock that does not tell the time but is a fully functional dimmable lamp. By sliding the top, you can open and close the sides to increase or reduce light emission. The design has an internal reflector that gets covered with a piece of aluminum foil to increase emission. The hour handle can be pressed to turn it on and off. This design shortens the cable quite a bit, if you want this to hang high up you might need a USB-to-USB extension cord.

Single and multi-color printing models are included as STL and 3MF! They work with all current and usual multi color setups.

What you need

• Non-translucent filament, just a normal darker color usually works fine
• Translucent filament for the little hour markings, normal white or lightly colored filament will do
• An LED puck cabinet lights like the Bambulab LED lamp kit 001
• A piece of regular household aluminum foil
• Screws or wall mount tape – the Diameter of the screw holes are 5.5 mm, and they are 60 mm apart
• Glue

Instructions

• Follow along with the images
• Print all parts
• Single color print only: Glue the 12 inserts into the top
• Place the slider inside of the Top
• Place the Hour handle on the minute handle (no glue!)
• Add a little glue to the two attachment points of the minute handle and place the assembly onto the top. Make sure the extension of the hour handle goes through the slider. You can place the Minute handle in whatever direction you want. It has to go in one of the 12 slots.
• Guide the USB cable through the bottom from above through the cut out
• Place the Switch inside of the bottom
• Guide the cable around the holder points of the bottom
• Use the provided double sided tape of the led package to attach the puck to the center
• Place the Holder onto the switch and gently push it in (friction fit)
• Place the top assembly onto the bottom with the extension of the hour handle going through the holder onto the switch

Print settings Important: Do not use any other light source than LED with this Design. Depending on the strength of your LED certain parts of the print might warm up. Your filament has a certain heat deflection temperature that defines at which temperature deformation might occur. Make sure to build a safe product by verifying that the print is not affected by the amount of heat that your light source emits! If you are uncertain or have little experience in building electrified products, please consult a professional! Usually, a strong LED bulb does not get hotter than 50 degrees Celsius while regular PLA does not deform under 58 degrees Celsius. Those are approximate numbers, and you need to verify that for your own product selection.
