Sustainable bucket hat lamp

A lamp made with clay, recycled plastic bottles, and an esoteric button design

There are a lot of photos here and some documentation for the esoteric button programming and design. This was a collaboration: My friend Novel had the vision and threw the bucket hat out of clay, a friend of theirs helped with the recycled bottle 3D print, and I fine-tuned the LED color and button design.

GitHub Repo is here. It includes a variety of markdown notes for learnings along the way.

Esoteric button design

We worked a lot on the button user experience and design with the notion in mind to never let the light become an annoyance when trying to change the brightness.

The code variations and design features and ideas can be found in the GitHub link above.
