After nearly 3 month in the making, my current project is "finished" (there is still a lot to improve), so here is another #notQuiteWeekly projects update.

I build a lamp, inspired by a flower blossom, made from plywood with 3D printed parts. I designed the project in #OpenSCAD and printed out templates to use with a router to cut out the parts. 🧵

It has a ring of LED strips pointing towards the ceiling and a center panel providing the main lights. I built a mechanism inside that open up the lamp using a servomotor.

For control, I use #esphome, though I will probably switch to using arduino-esp32, which provides matter support.

Overall, I am very happy with the result.

@AberDerBart do you plan to share the blueprints on thingiverse or anything?

with additional coloured leds, this would be a perfect substitute to my shitty lolasmart lamp

@schaf I plan to release the files, but they need some cleanup work first, so it will probably take a few weeks (feel free to poke me to do this, it is more of a motivation thing than an available time thing)
@AberDerBart when are you selling these???????????????
@Lizette603_23 I do not plan to sell these, as there are (AFAIK) quite a few legal and regulatory hurdles to overcome and I am not motivated to do this. I will probably release the files though, so you can build your own
@AberDerBart I would so love to make one. Where would you release that if you do? I really love it
@AberDerBart @Lizette603_23 yes please on releasing the files. And if there’s a charity you support, I’d be glad to make a donation if I use the plans.
@AberDerBart alright that is cool as all hell
@AberDerBart @garbageman *hinting heavily* my birthday is coming up and this would be an awesome gift
@AberDerBart okay that is very cool
@AberDerBart Curious as to the effect on levels of light. Or patterns of light. Not entirely clear from what you show, but it's right awesome.
@AberDerBart WOW! this lamp is amazing!
@AberDerBart как красиво получилось!!!​
@AberDerBart beautiful 😍

@vicgrinberg @AberDerBart

Musicians will appreciate the inclusion of giant guitar picks!

@AberDerBart  that is some next lvl design!
@AberDerBart @DrJLecter "That's so cool", the burglar says right before the security lamp launches at them...
@catsalad @AberDerBart @DrJLecter please tell me it has RGB LEDs so it can turn red when it sees intruders
@pix @catsalad @DrJLecter Its just warm white/cold white, but it is all LED strips, so you can easily swap them for RGB ones 😉
@AberDerBart That's really pretty. 👌
@AberDerBart That's amazing. It's clear to see where the time has gone. I didn't even spot the smaller leaves until the 4th loop. If you ever put it in an Instructables competition I hope you get something. Very cool
@AberDerBart very cool bionic Design! 🤩🏵️👍
@AberDerBart  cimba wants,,,,
