You need:

I used 33 WS281x (144 LEDs/m) ~23cm I had lying around, but you can also use less dense strips (maybe with multiple turns).

Print Settings:

I used a 0.6mm nozzle (so I got 2 perimeters) with 0.28mm layers (~60g filament).
Obviously the smaller the layer height, the better the result!
Use white or a bright opaque filament.
If the cardboard part of your spool isn't 60mm high, just scale the z-dimension in the slicer.

Preparation:

You can prepare an ESP flashed with WLED (in my case a D1 mini with LED Data on D4 and the button on D3).

Assembly:

Take apart one of the plastic sides of the spool just by pulling. Put the _lid over the cardboard part (bottom side outwards). Drill a hole in the cardboard to get the LED strip from the inside out. My strip has 2 additional wires for power - they'll be outside the cardboard and get soldered to a USB-C panel breakout linked below. The optional button will be inside (I fixed mine with some hotglue in place) If your button's stem is too short, you can use a drop of super glue and stick the _button_cover on top. Mount the LEDs to the cardboard and put on the _main part by guiding the USB-C panel from the inside out and mounting it in its recess. The 2nd plastic side is ideally put in place so that the ‘filled hexagons’ cover the USB Port.

Enjoy your new upcycled 360° good-looking lamp!

 

The idea was inspired by Soarpix, but modeled from scratch.
