Teaching Tech | I designed this light 20 years ago, now I can finally make the Lumimate @TeachingTech | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 day ago
Sometimes you have a novel idea but you don’t have the resources to manufacture it for real. Thanks to home 3D printing, you can at least make a version of your invention for yourself. In this video, I recreate a uni project from twenty years earlier, the Lumimate mechanic’s light.
The aim of the video is to showcase my design and problem solving process, and to inspire you to manufacture your own ideas. However, if you do want to make your own Lumimate, everything you need is on Printables: printables.com/model/501509-lumimate-mechanics-light
