This 3D printed lighting rig is a great DIY build for your photo and video projects. It uses an Adafruit Trinket and NeoPixel LEDs. It’s also portable and battery powered or you can plug it into the wall.
In a previous project, we made a ring light for DSLR camera using a 60 NeoPixel ring.
This new version uses RGBW type NeoPixels which produces much better lighting. White light from RGB type NeoPixels produces a reddish hue on skin tones and gives an unnatural color temperature. RGBW type of NeoPixels provide dedicated white light which produces much better color temperature.
Combining RGB colors together creates a white light but this just doesn’t look too good on camera.
Your phone snaps onto the 3D printed bumper, making a great lighting solution for your front facing camera.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
