Bill of Materials
Description
How the LightWall Rock was born:
While chatting with a good friend who spends a lot of time hiking and camping, I asked him what still bothers him on his trips — or what he wishes he had in his gear setup. Unsurprisingly, he mentioned that weight and volume are always a challenge, but he’s already got that dialed in.
Then he brought up something I hadn’t really considered: his headlamp.
“It’s great that it always points where I look,” he said. “But that’s also the problem. If I talk to someone, I blind them. And when I hang it somewhere — like in a tent or over the campfire — it never points in the right direction.”
That stuck with me.
I told him I’d come up with something better — something more flexible, more comfortable, and more social.
A few days (and CAD sessions) later, I had the first concept for the LightWall Rock: a modular, rotatable, soft-glow light that adapts to your needs — without blinding your campmates.
He’s already seen the pictures — and he’s super hyped. Now we’re just waiting for the real-world test.
And of course… I’ll keep you updated here. ;)

Boost Me (for free)
Thank you for sticking with me till here - I would really appreciate your boost. If you like the idea, please consider liking it or trying it yourself.
As the name suggests — LightWall Rock — this is just the beginning.
There’s another version in the works: a slimmer, more elegant LightWall designed for garden use and ambient outdoor lighting.
So stay tuned!
If you also want one, here is the manual on how to assemble the LightWall:
Parts you need (but you will also find further down below):
- 7 * M3x20 FHCS Machine Screw
- 7 * M3 Carbon Steel Hex Nut
- 2 * 2x14mm Stainless Steel Dowel Pin
- 2 * 2PCS 4 White 3030-LED Board
- 1* Power Distribution Board (PDB) - 4 Channels
- 1 * Self-Locking Button Switch
- 3 * D5x3mm Round Magnet
Also highly recommended are some
- pliers
- small flat head screwdriver
- 3mm hex/allen wrench.
Before you start assembling, just be aware, that the clear cover, the back cover and front cover will need magnets inside them, so the print will pause and lets you put it in.

⚠️ Use the LED boards in the same order as they are plugged into the Power Distribution Board: first slot at the top, second slot below, etc. This makes cable routing easier. Do not insert the remaining 3 LED boards yet. | |

Insert the gear with the extension into the bottom center slot. It should fit perfectly. | |
| |
| |
⚠️ Do not tighten it all the way yet. | |
| |
⚠️ Do not press too hard. | |
Now install the clear cover by pressing it onto the front of the case until it clicks into place. | |
| |
| |
💡 Tip: Don’t insert all nuts at once—they’ll fall out unless tightened. You should use 6 screws in total. | |
