Summary

I love the look of the classic banker's lamp, so I made this one. The shade can swivel up and down, and the swivel joint is print in place! Also no supports required. Using the WLED firmware, it is also WiFi controllable and Alexa compatible, as well as featuring an On/Off pushbutton cause sometimes that's just easier. And it's powered off regular 5V USB

Electronics you need (although other electronics/LED strips can easily be made to fit):

Other stuff you'll need (if you want to build it exactly like mine):

  • Working USB cable to recycle
  • USB power source, 2A or better is prefereable
  • Some routing wire, I recycled old modem cable
  • Some small cable ties
  • 4x M3 screws, 10mm long should be good
  • Glue gun to secure the LED strips
  • Two-part epoxy (optional)

Print and Assembly

  • Print all the parts in the given orientation
  • Check printed parts. The shade should match the flat surface on the frame and the frame should squarely fit into the base. You should be able to swivel the flat surface of the frame around
  • Glue the lamp shade onto the frame, I used two-part epoxy although hot glue will probably be sufficient
  • If the frame does not fit snugly into the base, some two-part epoxy (or hot glue) can be used to secure it. I adjusted the dimensions for the STL's, but my original print was way too loose (NOTE: do not glue the frame deep into the base, it should only fill the square shaft so as to not push out the bottom and prevent the cap from being screwed on)
  • Check that the base cap screws in properly onto the base

Electronics and Software

  • Flash your Wemos D1 mini with the excellent WLED! (https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/wiki)
  • As described in the guide, wire your LED strip to your Wemos as follows:
    GND <-> GND
    4-7V <-> 5V
    DIN <-> D4
  • Wire your pushbutton on one side to Wemos pin D3 and the other straight to GND
  • Download the WLED app to control your lamp, the pushbutton will switch it on and off
  • For Alexa compatibality, open the light in the WLED app, go to Config -> Sync Interfaces -> Emulate Alexa device. Check the box, give your device a name, select Save, and Alexa should be able to detect your new light
  • Secure everything in the base with hot glue once you are done testing and screw the base cap back on. Done!
