Description

Heres a Darth Vader lamp I came up with and uses LED strip.

 

For the Vader Statue, do a filament swap at 1.4mm using 0.2mm layer height.

 

For the base it will need the AMS, if there is enough interest I will make a version that won't need it.

 

Assembly is basic, stick the LEDs to the base and run the cable out of the hole. I use SK6812 LEDs and a USB LED Driver with a remote for control. You could also use an ESP32/ESP8266 and run WLED. Glue the Saber Blader into the saber hilt with some CA/Super Glue.You may need to resize the saber to get a good fit.

 

If you don't want to white slots in the base to glow, just run a strip of something like aluminium foil to block the light, I suppose you could also paint the inside black.

No, it really needs supports, you could cut the model into pieces but its easier to just use supports.

I've printed about 15 of them and never had an issue, I also print in Matte filament which makes it easier to remove supports. I didn't design Vader, I remixed it into the lamp. What tools are you using to remove the supports?
