Back to the Future Lamp

I got the idea when I saw it on the Internet. There are plenty of models like these on Amazon and elsewhere.

And I said to myself: "Can't I do it with my 3D printer?".

The extra feature I've added compared to the ones you can find on the Internet, is that I've added a button on the back that lets you change the color to suit the mood.

Normally it's pretty simple to make even if you're not an electronics engineer.

Here the components : https://jeje-linge.fr/en/products/back-to-the-future-lamp

What you need:

1x Arduino nano

1x 2.2k resistor

1m Led strip

1x switch

Print every part.

I used black PLA but you can totally make it with grey PLA.

White PLA for the letters.

Layer 0.2mm , infill 15% for everything but the letters.

Letters: layer 0.2mm, infill 100%

Insert the "caches" in the letters B, A, O and R.

Then place the white plate inside the model.

Cut the led strip in 3 parts.

Glue every part.

Make sure you put the DIN of the first part on the left side.

Solder the 3 led strip parts together.

Solder every wire on the arduino.

Put the arduino in the "Arduino box".

Glue the box on the "led strip plate".

Put the switch in place. Glue it if it's necessary.

Solder the 5V, GND and D4 from the Arduino to the led strip.

Then solder the switch.

Close the box and connect the arduino to your computer.

I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.
