Pixel Torch - mobile WLED

The Pixeltorch is probably the safest torch in the world – at least as long as you don't drop it. 3D-printed, packed with LEDs and controlled by WLED, it brings digital fire into your life without you having to warn the fire department. With its animated flames, color explosions, and effects, it looks so impressive that real torches extinguish themselves out of envy. Whether for decoration, a cosplay prop, or to confuse your neighbors: The Pixeltorch provides light, atmosphere, and conversation – pixel-accurate and guaranteed without burn holes in your carpet.

For the 40cm high torch, four parts need to be printed, all of which can be screwed together with threads.

The handle is colored in the slicer and can, of course, be adjusted. I have colored the layers completely, so only 11 color changes are necessary in total.

It is controlled by a Gledopto WLED Controller, which is powered by a power bank. This can keep the system running for many hours. The power bank is sold in Germany under the title Anker Powerbank 10,000mAH 533 Powercore. The dimensions for the hole are 29x55x103mm.

For the pixel tower, I used five circles, which have the following diameters: 26mm, 48mm, 73mm, 95mm, and 120mm. Since these cables are already soldered at the input and output, simple plugging together is quickly done. No soldering iron is needed.

The controller is then connected to the first circle and has space in the upper part of the handle.

When the power bank is connected, the bottom is screwed shut.

WLED can then be wonderfully controlled from a mobile device.

I printed the cover with transparent and also with white filament, both create their own interesting look.

On the left is the seam position "aligned", the dots on the right were created randomly by the seam position. Since I prefer aligned, it is stored this way in the print profile.
