What is a Torus Lamp?
Yes, another custom WLED lamp. I had done a torus birdhouse earlier this year and thought the shape could make a pretty unique lamp. This one’s been in the works for a few months, but I require assistance assembling these projects. Unfortunately the sections didn’t come together perfectly, so I still had to fix a gap in the ring, which was done with a handy ratchet strap. Anyway, this torus is 15 sections, each with 11 faces totaling 165 individually addressable pixel LED lights. The torus sections were 3D printed using white PLA on a Bambu X1-C. I’m using a WLED Slim LED Strip Controller from Anthom with an additional 5V board for power injection. The faces are laser cut 1/8" Iridescent Molten Textured Acrylic from Houston acrylic.
Painting
Temporary faces were installed to mask the white areas and expose the borders to the paint.
