Cool project! A couple of tips to fix your soldering, as you highlight it as a weakness: - Basic technique: add solder directly to a hot joint, don't add solder to the iron tip and then apply it to the joint. There won't be enough solder doing things the latter way, and it won't flow properly. Yes, this requires you to figure out how to hold the iron, a strand of solder, and whatever needs to be soldered all at the same time, potentially making you feel like you need three or four hands, but it's the only way to do it. The iron tip should be tinned, but this is to aid with thermal transfer and avoid the tip oxidising, not to transfer that tin to the joint. Hold the parts to be soldered in the desired position, apply the iron until the joint is hot, then add solder wire directly to the joint, then remove heat and solder wire and let cool. - When in doubt, add flux. Flux is a type of substance that helps solder flow properly. Most solder wire has a rosin flux core, but this generally isn't enough flux to make for a good solder joint. The solder joints you made on that PCB are a perfect example of a joint where you need more flux to make the solder flow properly and ensure a strong joint. They look ... okay-ish, but barely. You can buy rosin flux, or there are tons of other fluxes available, many of which are easier to work with (my favourite are gel fluxes that come in a syringe, making them easy to apply in suitable quantities). A note: many types of flux (including rosin!) are corrosive and *need* to be cleaned off, and really all solder joints regardless of added flux should be cleaned afterwards. Isopropyl alcohol is the typical cleaner for this.

This is actually a problem that not many companies seem to have found solutions for! Especially in terms of the design of the lamp itself, and not just the lighting. I've had this struggle my whole life. You should def sell this.

@RADICALDESIGNOFFICIAL 2 ай бұрын

Design usually works best if the product does one function, extremely well. When you get into multi-use products you will always get compromises so generally design companies will create products with a clear sense of what problem it solves. Having said this, I always find custom projects like this really cool because you learn so much about the design process.

The good ol' Lamptern...Love this! Thanks for sharing the whole process with us..even when things got difficult

@imjistudio 5 ай бұрын

of course! to be honest, a lot of footage was cut out, and I'm considering making future videos shorter for more concise storytelling.

@StillthatguyJake 5 ай бұрын

@@imjistudio I'm going to be totally honest with you. As someone who struggles to make content myself (let alone get in front of the camera), you really do a fantastic job of storytelling. I can only imagine the footage that didn't make it in. I do typing test videos and the number of times I do it before I get one that I like is insane, honestly. You definitely did a fantastic job of editing and pulling it all together. Here's the thing that I think is most notable... I watch a lot of youtube and I love to learn new things. That said, I have no intention of building the perfect paper lamp! It wouldn't even fit on my desk. lol I am familiar with all of the things that you did so I didn't really need to learn how to wire a lamp or the trouble with conductivity or metal vs plastic. BUT I STAYED! You're a magnificent storyteller. My advice, stop second-guessing yourself and do what feels right. You can listen to suggestions and it's always good practice to keep learning, but you are way ahead of the curve, my friend. Don't think I didn't catch your little transitions and editing tricks! You showed a lot of mastery for someone with two youtube videos! I was a teacher for years and read a lot of books to children...and watched a lot of others read books to children. There's one thing about that experience that fits this perfectly. Almost anyone can tell you a story you've never heard before and draw your interest...but a STORYTELLER can read you a story you've heard a thousand times and make you feel like it's your first time hearing it or that you've cracked a code. You, sir, have the makings of a storyteller! I look forward to more videos.

That is what my current task lamp is, with a snake neck so I can position it where I need it. I never have room on my tiny desk. Your video was very calming and interesting.

IKEA would definitely be able to convince shoppers that it was one of their designs - it has the graceful minimalism that their best products typify.

this is more just an idea, but if you want to keep the metal base you could cut out the top and put a low conductivity material, I thin piece of bamboo? or maybe some nice stained DRY leather. I think leather might work if its dry bc if its at all wet it prbly wont

When you were building the rings for the lantern structure I wondered why you didn't just 3D print them. You could have gotten perfectly round rings with a perfectly even thickness without needing to tape them together. The print wouldn't take very long, and all the rings would be printable as a single print. I imagine that would have been much faster and cleaner than doing it by hand.

10:18 EE here, the touch (capacitive) buttons won't work through a continuous and conductive shell of any kind, because there is no capacitive interaction left between your finger and the designated pick-up pads on the PCB. There is a MCU-driven RC(resistor capacitive) charge/discharge interaction going on at all times on those pads in the lamp that your finger being nearby will de-tune it due to your bodies added capacitance. The metal shell, doesn't 'shield' the button(but that is the end-effect), but rather it disperses the capacitance of your body touching across the entire PCB inside, instead of over a single button, so the touch rather than hitting all the buttons, gets 'common mode' rejected as though it never happened, as the Ground of the circuit is also bounced capacitively. That said if you can use metals, but it has to be isolated per-button and with a plastic insulators, squishing any sort of conductive-enough foam or a spring down to touch the pad is usually enough to transmit the detune. BUT if the circuit wasn't designed great you might get endless auto-triggers as a result of doing this, as it makes the RC constants pre-detuned from whatever normal was, depends if the original circuit can auto-adjust or has hard-set thresholds. Fun Fact: The much older older style of touch-lamps that were the all-metal ones, most of those technically shock a small current through you.. that's why the surface feels 'grabby' if you skim your fingertips across it only while plugged-in. The more you know. 🌈

@imjistudio 5 ай бұрын

wow this is so informative thank you so much for writing this! As you saw I ended up learning everything you listed the hard way 🤣 and was even searching for lamps with metal touch control interfaces to see if it was even possible (only to find next to none). I suppose that's why they're usually limited to on/off. Funnily enough, the weight that came with the metal base didn't have a hole extrude big enough to fit the PCB so it ended up being that I had to create/3d-print a custom base anyway

@TechJolt3d 3 ай бұрын

Videos like this make me want to make stuff. Also that lamp is great. Though honestly if it was me making it, I'd probably make it clamp to a table since space on my desk is limited. Other than, I love that design. Also would you ever smooth your 3d prints or do you just vibe with the layer lines look?
