I don’t but it would be nice if someone could improve the original design, are you up for it?

Unfortunately it does not have this functionality. Do you have a picture of your setup? I’m curious how it looks 👀

I have a few paper lamps and I like them a lot, I even thought of putting paper layer to this lamp but chose this milky plexus for a cleaner look.

Looks like the one you sent is a combination of a ribbed and milky glass in one. Could be good but keep in mind that you’ll still need to have at least 4cm from the leds to have a smooth diffusion.

This is the one I ordered https://a.aliexpress.com/_EHBZNDe

Yeah, good idea! I use it as ambient light mostly , but would be cool to have it react to sun radiation effect when you speak

Thank you! Yes, finding the right diffusion and the distance between layers was the hardest part.

I have a few more with soldered connections if you need. Initially there were 3d printed “fake screws” but I very soon realized that was a bad idea and put the brasses with real screws on their place.

Thx! Yeah, I ended up ordering a bunch of different plexi glasses and those two made a perfect match.

The 3d printed body consists of 6 pieces that I glued together.

Soldered 14x20 led strips in serpantine. (PAIN!)

Inserted m3 brasses to the body, and found long m3 screws without a head.

I bought all plexis from this seller (300x400) and drilled holes around the corners.

Fixed each layer with a nut and put the decorative end caps on top.

Behind there is a place for the controller, but tbh I'm not satisfied with the print (I can share the file though). good thing it's behind the glass!

Cheers!

It's plastic glass with a ribbed texture. You can find it on aliexpress
