About this model
Random parametric "bee hive" LED lamp. Fully customizable, optionally solar powered. Solar cell can be mounted on the back or somewhere else entirely. I will upload some example .stl files - make your own one with OpenSCAD or Makerbot Customizer. Can be powered by 4 - 12 V like a "normal" LED lamp or as a solar powered outdoor night lamp that recharges during the day and glows in random patterns during the night in a specified time frame. Measured standby energy consumption is below 10 mA, operational power consumption bounces between 20 and 80 mA ( depends on the amount of LEDs glowing at the time). May get some improvements down the line. Video: Building process: Short operating gif: _________________________ * Added "SolarHive_DemoAllPartsRC5.zip" which contains all the files to build t…
