The dangerous dangleberry lamp

Finally caught up with sleep, and decided to make another custom lamp.

I think I may have been a bit under the weather last week.  It's always hard to tell when you live on your own, until afterwards when you feel better and realise something was wrong.

This one is based on the architectural style hanging clusters of E27 lamp holders, but scaled down to fit into a single lamp holder.  It actually looks pretty good.  The camera doesn't quite catch the detail as well as the human eye can.

It's what I'd call a decorative level. Not suited to reading.

Clive, if you're experiencing problems with 3d prints lifting off the bed, check out Lok-Build (or one of the Chinese knock-off). It's a thin, textured, self-adhesive plastic sheet you affix to your build-plate which improves adhesion in a way that I can only describe as miraculous. Check out this photo - build-plate heater was off, no brim, no supports. It also works with ABS which I've never managed to get to stick.. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DfjeuXdDK_rtXzdAVDXPwKsGF-jPQRsP/view?usp=sharing

Oh man, good to find a fellow closet zig-zagger

Have you seen the show?

Not going to argue in the YT comments so I'll do it here... the "dangerous" title seems a bit over-the-top & alarmist. Non-compliant with regulations, sure, but dangerous? You've dissected many commercial gizmos that are way more dangerous than that by exposing live (such as the bug zappers, etc).

Of all of Clive’s projects emulated on my bench, sockets for individual leds still eludes me. I’ve ordered the same little connectors but never get a good fit. I may have give the holiday string lights a retrofit to see if that will work for me. I wish wago would create a tiny locking led socket.

It happened long before the European union. They also wanted us to change all the logic gate symbols to squares with things like "&" in them. Very non intuitive.

Big Clive

The slow colour change ones would work on the mains version, but the candle ones would need to be used with the 5V USB version.

Big Clive

I think I was already well and truly ill at that point, but didn't know it. That thing where you don't realise you're ill until you start feeling better again.

Big Clive

I did in the end.

I have some 2W10 2A 1000V Full Wave Rectifiers I guess I could use those.

Nuts 'n' Proud

Nice. I wonder if brexshit means you can reclaim zigzag resistors.

Raven Luni

"coin cell" I guess you could have just put a battery on the output of the bridge rectifier for testing and marking each crimped socket before adding all the LEDs.

John Harrison

Only if you lick it

Anita Davis

You got the best dangle berries Clive.

Clive, Recommend you become more politically proper and drop the use of "pull it" as it has certain unsavory connotation's. In place, you may find favor in the use of "chicken it" (a.k.a pullet). Just saying! ;)

Mustafa's Fleas

Yet more things that would also look good with color changing LEDs in it. Or maybe the candle flicker flame ones.

Elliott Krimchansky

That's a great project Clive; it has lots of scope for variation of the bulb arrangements - regular stepped or random lengths, short or long length variations, 3D printed spidery frames to click between cables to make a chandelier effect.... super.

Glad you are recovered, I said on last Thursday's stream that you were coming down with something, I actually said "£10 says..." Bottom line, it's all good coz you feel better and you owe me a tenner 🤣 Nice project by the way, it's no talkie toaster but it's a nice light all the same

The Tinkering Shed

nice, the light turned out great

Eric Latour

Can work both ways, as sometime living with others can disrupt ones sleep. As I well know.

Andrew Donaldson

So... You say dangerous.... Is it like likely to kill me or just has an outside chance?

I'm feeling better knowing that you're feeling better. 🤘😷

Ozone S.

Nice. Organic looking. Try some grape-colored globes.

You may have been burning the LED on both sides ; ) As a side note...You haven't done a soda stream or zapping sausages (or other edible items;) NO PRESSURE...Great video. Peace

This is fun. Did you cover the dropper/ mA ratings❓ you appear to favor ambient not task lighting... does this provide equivalent light for say reading

Cerity

For prints like this you should add a brim for bed adhesion.

Bas

Glad you managed to get some sleep Clive, I've recently been having sleep difficulties too, I wonder if there's a tech-person thing going on? 🤣

Chewie

I am glad you are starting to feel better.

I need to learn how this patreon thing works 😂

Good stuff man thanks as always and much love!

Michael Thompson

Glad you're feeling better!
