Work steps

  • Parts printing
  • Connector 1 you need seven and connector 2 once.
  • Assemble parts. Best on a suitable table. Needs some space.
  • Insert cable. Leave some overhang so that you can shorten it when the LED strip is inserted.
  • Fill the longest possible path with the LED strip. 
    Cut the rest and solder it.
  • Check in between that all solder joints have contact.
  • Hang up and enjoy 

Hints

  • I tried to solder the cables so that they go straight down into the cable channel. Then the bending radius is smaller. I have also torn off soldered joints. Do not make the temperature on the soldering iron too hot. 
  • In the double bindings, I have installed undercuts so that the cable has enough space. In the pentagon is a tunnel in the webs so that the cable can be fed through. With a little patience, it works. 
  • Make the calves longer than they really need to be. Do not cut them to course. Only shorten if you also want to solder dise. 
  • I have hung the lamp with two headless nails.
