RGB LED Light

This is a little LED light that can be used for anything, from a night light to a party light. It is an easy project that anyone can make, with access to a 3d printer and a few other parts. I made this because I have been wanting a little light for a long time now and this is perfect.

Below is a list of all the tools and materials needed.

Materials:

3D Printer Filament

LED Strip Lights

Super Glue

(optional) Clear Coat Spray Paint

Tools:

3D Printer

Craft Knife

Sand Paper

I designed all the 3 separate parts in Fusion 360 CAD, I used Fusion 360 because it is so easy to use and has a load of great features like the thread tool, which was especially useful for this project which has multiple threads. For this build you don't have to design any of these parts, I have put the downloadable files below, but if you want to design you own things you can use this link to use Fusion 360 https://www.autodesk.co.nz/products/fusion-360/overview.

This step is easy, just download the files (above) and set them up on your 3d printer, then just sit back and relax while it does all the work for you.

Once you have printed all of the parts for the project you will need to remove any supports and sand them down this step will take a while if you want to to a bit of effort into it to make it look really nice, but it really isn't that hard. Once you have them all sanded down (this part is optional) you can take a can of clear coat spray paint and give it a couple of coats of that. Then set it to dry and you're done.

Now that we have got all the parts sanded, painted and looking nice, we can go ahead and put the lights on. Start by peeling back part of the adhesive protector and then stick it to the LED strip holder and carefully wrap it around. once you get to the end of the holder cut it where it says you can cut then stick it firmly down. Once you have done this you can screw it into the top half of the light, and you have finished this step.

Nearly done, now that you have the lights put on you can put the light controller in, first you will have to cut off the little attachment arm. Once you have done that you can get out some super glue or plastic glue and glue the light controller into the slot. Once that is done you can stuff all the wires into the bottom half of the light, then screw both halves together and you're done.

I you have completed all other steps in this project, you have finished, now you can enjoy your handy work.

Thanks for building this with me!
