We tested a few types of light bulbs and LED strips. The light bulbs were too short for our design, and one of the LED strips we tried was too scattered that the effect didn’t turn out well. So we bought a new LED strip with a neutral white color that has more continuous light source. Even though we cannot change the color temperature based on our initial needs to change according to the time of the day, we were able to change the brightness using the MOSFET transistor.
The 3D printed materials we tried include: PLA Matte White, PLA Silk White, PETG Translucent Orange and PETG Translucent Gray. We decided on the combination of PLA Silk White and PETG Translucent Gray, as the colors and the texture of both materials work really well with each other, and the shiny surface turns the fixture into a nice decoration even when the light is off.
