I designed a new base for the (fantastic) "Progressive Detail Moon Lamp with Rechargeable Moon station" model by moononournation so that the lamp would work with stuff that I already had lying around.

This .stl file is the BASE ONLY, you should download the "moon" file from the original thing https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3444020

The base screws in quite easily and is designed to fit an MT3608 DC-DC boost converter and a 15 x 10 mm rocker switch, so that you can power any 12 V LED strip. The strip can be wrapped around the top cylinder.

I have used 30 cm of 5630 cold white LED strip, but you can get away with 15 to 20 cm. I had to downvolt it to 10.2 V because it was getting a little hot, but it is still PLENTY bright.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

Creality

Printer:

Ender 3

Rafts:

No

Supports:

Yes

Resolution:

0.2 (adaptive 0.12 to 0.28mm in Cura)

Infill:

10%

Filament: Basicfil PLA White


Notes:

Print upright, with supports, at 0.2 mm (or better) resolution. I used adaptive layers on Cura 4.8 in the range 0.12 to 0.28 mm, 2 perimeters, 10% infill. and in this way the print takes about 2 hours.

Post-Printing =============

Assembly

Use hot glue to attach the DC-DC converter PCB and to fix the wires in place.
The adhesive backing of the LED strip doesn't like to adhere to PLA, so use a liberal amount of superglue to make it stay in place.
