Remix on wavy light by LaCapsule. Designed to use less support and has the option to mount in a corner of a wall. 

 

Slicing:

 

Slicing was pretty normal, but I did choose to do outer brims on all parts with the exception of outer and inner brims for the walls part as I was having an issue with warping. However, if you do choose inner walls, it will close the mounting screw holes for the bottom panel. You can screw into it just fine, but might be slightly harder

Alternative option, just click outer brim

(For me, I chose outer and inner brim, and I ended up pausing the print at the first layer, after the brim was laid, but before the walls were laid, and used a tool to nudge off the inner brim inside the mounting holes. Not mandatory, just makes overall brim removal easier imo. Hopefully that made some sense)

I also choose to use Archimedean Chords for bottom surface pattern for the diffuser and I think it looks very nice

Notes:

  • Three rows of 13 legs, soldered in series

  • I soldered the jumper for 2a application for PD breakout
    • (Obviously soldered the 5v jumper)
  • Superglued the top wavy part to the walls, but the tolerances should be fine

  • I bought usb C extension cords from aliexpress for cheap (2m, 3m)
