Shadowlesslightindicator

shadowless-light

if you are a Stardance reviewer i messed up when doing the ship it has the wrong banner and video

description

demo video: https://youtu.be/H-r51vnOVfs
this is a desk light designed to not cast a shadow to make working on fine details easier
it works by having a main light then there is octogon ring around it that has lights and will tilt in and out to make sure every spot has at least one light on it

use cases

• soldering
• painting fine detail
• just like any kinda of work tbh

features

• btight
• RGBW
• UV
• adjustable lights
• blind yourself

assembly

i cover this in the yt video a lot better

3d print

settings:
plastic: pla
supports: trees
layer hight: 0.28mm
nozzle: 0.4mm
nozzle temp: 210°C
bed temp: 60°C
infill: 15%

wall

attatch the stand to the wall the instructions are on the box

3d print assembly

• remove suports
• put the hook on stand
• place the main thing on the hook
• place all the 16 suports in the main thing and secure it with the pins
• thread the pivots throught the suports and the lights to make an octogon
• put the servos through the big holes in the main thing
• then thread the push through the top of the light and the servo
• then the goes on top of the main thing

pcbs

soldering

350 c recomended

• solder the 1 left wing light
• solder the 1 right wing light
• use the pad on the side to hold them togeather
• solder wires to the sides of the pcb
• repeate x 8
• main board
  • RGBW the uv
  • one of the lights needs some help
• mother board
  • the v line is a cut power cable
• indicator

arduino

you need to use adruino ide to upload the script to the arduino nano

servos :(

so i forgot about the servo when making the pcb so there isnt a convinent break out for it so you need to solder a wire to pin 7 directly then split the wire in to 4 then thats the data wire for the servos and the gnd and power come direcly from the power suply also i think my servos are too weak so they wernt able to actualy do anyyhing

assembling electronics

• wings
  • zip tie just like every thing
  • then do that 8 times
• main
  • you guesed it zip ties
• plug in all the things
• power supply
  • connect a 120v ac up to the main thing
  • connect one side to the switch on the front and the other side to one on the things on the 12v rectifer
  • this is another thing i forgot to add to the pcb connect the 12v output to the power wires on the mother board
  • now for the 5v if you have a buck dc to dc converter use that i didnt so i did this
  • connect a wall 5v rectifyer in parralel with the 120vac then plug that in to the the arduino with a usb to usbc
  • however we need to cut this wire then split it in to a bunch of things so that we can power the servos

documantation

• schemadic
  • indicator this is used to show if it is on and what value you are adjusting
  • 
  • right wing
  • 
  • 
  • left wing
  • 
  • 
  • motherboard
  • 
  • 
  • main
  • 
  • 
• voltage stuff
  • lights are running at 12v
  • each light runs at 20mA there is 4 lights in eash light there are 101 lights so 404 individual light + the 20 uv lights all run at 20mA or 0.02A * 424 = 8.48A
  • the 12 has 10A to cover it all
• lumins alot
  • red 4.8 lumens
  • green 10.7 lumens
  • blue 2.2 lumens
  • 10.7 lumens
  • 28.4 lumens per light X 101 = 248.4 lumens at max britness
• it is suposed to sit about 600mm off your desk
• its about 600mm in total witch ngl i think is too big i might make a smaler one in the futger

extra

• i am like really bad ar soldering so like half the light dont work
