Copper Steampunk Lamp

grabcad

A friend commissioned me to build a steampunk-themed lamp as a Christmas present for her husband. It had to fit in a fairly small area, was requested to be dim-able, and provide USB connectivity/charging.This is what I came up with.Quick description (since I already typed this all up once before, and then my browser crashed, and frankly, I don't much feel like writing it all again...):Power switch on back. When powered on, it will charge USB devices and if plugged into a computer, it will also provide connectivity to that device.Spigot handles are attached to quadrature encoders useing JB weld. Encoder adapters, lamp shade, diffuser, and USB cover are all 3D printed. I used "Rub-n-Buff" to give them their color.Top handle changes "color temperature" from candle to 40W Tungsten to 100W tungsten, to bright day, to cloudy sky, to blue sky and a couple of settings in between..side handle changes brightness.After the user/operator changes light settings and 30S have passed, the lamp stores the settings in internal EEPROM. Next time it is powered on, it will start from those last-saved settings.The top can swing from ~-20 degrees to about +90 degrees.Custom circuit board gerbers, datasheets for electronic parts, and software are included as a part of this model. Use at your own risk.See the video for more.
