Note 2: If you know how to edit G-code then only use it otherwise not.

Step 4: Solder LEDs As Shown in the Figure

Note 1: Please check working voltage of your LEDs and it must be diffused LEDs. Here I am using White and Blue LEDs which works on 3 volts and Red LEDs which works on 2 volts.

1. Connect LEDs as show in figure.

2. White LEDs are in series and Parallel with other LEDs.

3. Blue LEDs are in series and Parallel with other LEDs.

4. Red LEDs are in series with 2.7k ohm resistor and Parallel with other LEDs.

Note 2: Alternate the LEDs as shown in Image ...

Blue=B and White=W.

Use this config for LEDs B-W-B-W-B-W

Step 5: Test Your LEDs

Step 6: Put the LEDs Holder in Mani Body of Lamp

Step 7: Insert the DC Female Jack to Back Lid and Solder Its Wire to LEDs

Now remove the protection film from Acrylic sheet.

Step 9: Insert Screw on Back Side

Close back side using 4 screws with Back Lid
