LED lamp made of wood and acrylic with smart controller - The Cube

- This is a cube lamp with luminous stripes of acrylic. The lamp gets light from a LED strip that is controlled with a Wi-Fi controller that you can control with an app or via your voice with your smart speaker or virtual assistance on your phone.
In this video, you see how I made this led lamp. Here I used a pine shelf table as wood as this is both holed and straight and is not very much more expensive than untreated wood. One thing I want to do differently the next time I make these lamps is to glue the two layers together before I cut. As you can see in this video, I first cut them into strips before gluing, which meant that I had to use my electric planer afterward. I expect to get rid of this by gluing first and then cutting.
I use 4mm acrylic sheets that I cut up to the same size as the pieces of wood should be. To get a better grip when I glue and to spread the light better in the acrylic, I sand the acrylic with 120 grit sandpaper. The glue I use is regular superglue with an activator spray.
What is not shown in the video is that I use a LED strip that is RGBWW, this means that it has in addition to Red, Green, and Blue a warm white diode. This means that I can choose to only have it warm white if I want.
The controller I use is a wifi controller that can be controlled with an app that you get for both iOS and Android. Through the app, you can also connect to your smart speaker where you can give commands such as "hey google change light to green on the cube".

Nice design! But please never work with gloves at your table saw ... we had one colleague at work who lost 2 fingers because his glove got caught by the saw blade and then his hand was sucked into the blade 😢
Great project, I would have liked to see more on how you made the LED bulb for inside, it went from heat shrink to LED inside.
Thanks, sorry it went a little fast there. But I just spin the LED strip around the controller so that both fit inside the cube.
Well done!! Nice work!
Thank you!
What are the dimensions for the wood in each individual cube? Great project!
Thank you! The wooden boards I used were 18mm, there are two on top of each other so each individual cube is 32x32mm, which makes the whole cube 104x104mm (3x32 + 4mm + 4mm)
I made the same block but I have an issue that the LEF light is not showing to the outside. The strip I am using is 5v. did you use 12 or 24v?
I haven't sanded it to 400 grit yet.
I used 12v, but it is also important how many diodes there are per meter and the size of the diodes I used RGB 5050 led strips with 60 leds per meter
Bonjour
Quelle est la colle que vous utilisez et les dimensions des cubes
Cordialement
Sorry but I do not know French, but if google translated you correctly you were wondering which glue I used. To glue the wood together, I use regular wood glue, but what I reckon you were wondering is what glue I used between the wood and the plexiglass. That was CA glue (Cyanoacrylate) also known as superglue. The CA glue I used also has a spray that makes it dry right away. The glue I used is bought in Norway and is not sold outside Scandinavia, but you can only search for Cyanoacrylate glue. The size of each block is 3.2cmx3.2cm.
@@RepRevMake Hello thank you very much for your answer good continuation
Привет. Чем брызгаете на акрил?
It is an activator for the glue, so that it hardens immediately
Los venden ??
sorry, I do not understand what you're saying?
Dont wear gloves while operating any maschines!
I know, I'll be better at remembering to take them off. I feel naked without gloves :-P
What he said! Especially important in an instructional video, because people see you do it and think it's okay! All fun and games until somebody loses a finger!!
@@FullSailDale1 I have stopped wearing gloves, I have some projects that have been going on for some time where there may be clips where I wear gloves. But in all my future videos, I will not wear gloves when using these machines.
@@RepRevMake Bless you! And, keep up the good work!!
