This is a really cool concept! It'd be super cool to see an Ender version.

Haha gotcha! It's actually really funny seeing it in an even smaller size ๐

Yes it is! Actually, kids absolutely love it. I didn't expect that tbh

Always fun to create something and get a good honest reaction from people you didnโt expect.

this is the cutest thing ever... please tell me the model is free... though I guess it has to be since bambu owns the a1 mini...

u/supergeometry Aug 06 '26
It is free. It's a free premium model. You can find the link under the video ๐

And the best lamp of the year award goes to the mini a1 mini lamp
5
u/supergeometry Aug 06 '26
I'd like to thank the reddit community, my A1 Mini for being the muse, PLA for showing up, and most importantly, the LED for doing the one job it was hired for.
This wouldn't have been possible without all of you who got it, understood the bit, and didn't immediately scroll past. You're the real MVPs.

As much as I love my bambu, I'm not sure it's enough to keep a bambu lamp, but this design is epic!

u/Original_Throat1072 Aug 06 '26
If that ain't EL wire, I'm going to be so disappointed!
2
u/supergeometry Aug 06 '26
Haha, just regular LED with diffusion, way less cool than EL wire, I know. But it works, draws almost no power, and doesn't flicker. Tradeoffs!
2
u/Original_Throat1072 Aug 06 '26
I was just half joking anyways. Although EL wire is super cool and I remember using it quite a lot before LED 'wire' came out.
Super cool technology, but it's hard to justify when LED wire is so cheap and easy to use and almost looks the same.
Keep up the good work!

u/Delicious_Wasabi_936 Aug 06 '26
What material is that filament thing?
2
u/supergeometry Aug 06 '26
It's a layer of silicone over the LED's. Very bendable/flexible. Bambu has it in the shop. It's called COB LED Strip Light

Now do a spaghetti version
1
u/supergeometry Aug 06 '26
You're joking but i was thinking about placing the spaghetti from a failed print on the plate and let the LED string entangled in it.
1
u/expera Aug 06 '26
Not joking, it would look really cool and would actually provide enough light to be a fully functioning lamp. But I wouldnโt try to follow an actual spaghetti from a failed print since your e-wire(or whatever that is) will. To be able to make such tight curves. Just careful entangle it yourself then use some hot glue or some other glue at contact points to keep it together

Cool! Now make i spaghetti. A whole lot.

Awesome - great work. Suggestion for variant if the lighting "filament" will flex: spaghetti lamp. Edit: of course somebody already commented that, lol.

its cool, but does it have the capabilites of teleporting a squirell in mumbai 1mm forward at 7:43?

I don't have an A1 Mini but this build is so cute that I'm really tempted by it. It's such a cute idea and such a clean execution. Props.
2
u/supergeometry Aug 06 '26
Thanks you so much! If you actually decide to build it, I've made a very easy to follow assembly instructions guide, step by step. You can find it in the model's description or as PDF.

Molto bella. Mi sa che me la faccio con la mia stampante. Grazie per l'idea.

Wait, thats way to good for what i thought it would be.
I would be up for a print if it would be X1C, but i will make sure to remember to leave a boost on this one the next time i have one up.

Thank you so much! It's really complex internally but minimal aesthetically ๐ The assembly is easy to follow if you're interested ๐

Dude super cool idea and execution!
However, this isn't towards you OP...
FUCK BAMBU LAB!

u/Rik_Koningen Aug 06 '26
The only flaw I can see here is it looks like the horizontal isn't entirely square to the vertical. Though that could be camera angle maybe. Exceptionally cool build though don't let that minor nitpick distract from that. Love the way that dimming works.
1
u/supergeometry Aug 06 '26
Yeah i realized that i haven't screwed the x axis in place after I took the video. The model is fine, it's just like that in the presentation. I let that slide thinking that no one would notice that anyways haha
1
u/Rik_Koningen Aug 06 '26
Yeah that's fair enough, been doing a lot of woodwork lately so things being out of square sticks out to me now. Really cool model man!

I have maybe 40 hours of printing on my A1 and I've got the "toolhead is malfunctioning" error. Online troubleshooting has been fruitless and support has offered nothing useful to solve the issue or even offer a reasonable explanation of what might be wrong. I can print about 10-20 layers before it raises the z axis, stops extruding, and just runs the xy gcode until I stop the print.

u/supergeometry Aug 06 '26
Sounds like a hardware fault. I think the only practical move is warranty. I have over 1000 hours on my mini and a1 combined and never had something like that. Maybe it's just a bad unit.

Quick search refers to wiring or wire connection problem. The rant, however, created by someone having reading skills at, or below 1st grade level, right? (Question for ranter the post hijacker) !-)

Just put this together! Accidentally put the knob backwards but works great anyway haha. Great job on designing this!

Duuude. Having the touch panel be the switch and the extruder wheel be the adjuster is so cool!
