DIY CNC Desk Lamp with WLED on Esp32
I recently discovered WLED and immediatly wanted to do a project with it, since i have a few esp32's laying around. So i designed this desk lamp in a futuristic street lamp style.
The lamp base is made from a solid block of hornbeam finished with hard wax oil.
The lamp head as well as the 2 buttons are made from aluminum, which i etched in a strong sodium hydroxide solution and cleaned up with sulfuric acid.
Power comes from a USB-C cable and the whole thing can be controlled with the two buttons or in the browser via WIFI
All the parts were milled on my diy cnc (except the pipe)
(If anyone is interested in the etching process - here is a video i made a while ago showing how i do it)
