Tesla logo in a desk lamp with an adjustable angle. Can be done in any color, though white will shine the brightest. Requires running LED strip lights. This is based on a technique I found to create lamps from any logo with this video from Duke Doks. If all you want to do is understand how to run the lights and assemble the lamp, start at the 14:45 mark of the video. 

I recommend using LED COB style lights instead of the SMD style which is what you see used in the video. LED COB lights are easier to work with for these projects and have more lights per meter creating a more uniform glow. I personally used these 5V LED COB lights on Amazon. I recommend going with a bright rather than warm light since it will be diffused by the print itself. I also used 5V lights so I can plug them into any USB charger. This project requires less than 1 meter of lights.

You will also need 3 M2x6 self-tapping screws to assemble the lamp to the stand. 2 screws for the mount onto the lamp, and 1 screw to hold the other end of the mount into the stand. I made an adjustable mount, largely inspired by the links by Sneaks

Printed at 0.20mm
When printing the bolt for the mount, I recommend printing this at 100% infill.
The bottom 5mm of the stand should be printed at 100% infill.

I included PrusaSlicer .3mf files with all my print settings.

As with all my models, I include the Fusion 360 .f3d design file if you want to make tweaks to it yourself (ie: make the mount non-adjustable). If you do this and publish your model, please include attribution.
