Moon Station Powered Moon Lamp
This instructables show how to add a rechargeable Moon station light source to make a portable Progressive Detail Moon Lamp.
Why Moon Station?
A portable Moon Lamp require a light source; And the light source require a power switch and recharge plug socket.
The switch and socket make the Moon surface not perfect. How about make it look like a Moon station? It can explain why part of the Moon become unnatural :P

3D print the model with white filament. I am print it with 0.1 mm layer height, no support required.
Light Source
The interior of the Moon station is 28 mm in diameter and reserved a micro USB port window.
This time, I am using a tiny LED drive board with charging circuit. It originally designed for 18650 LED flashlight, you can use any similar light source in hand.
Soldering Work
Connect power switch, LED drive board, Lipo battery and LED altogether.
Hot Glue Work
Since soldered circuit not in perfect shape, simply use hot glue fix it into the Moon station. I recommend fix the switch first then align the LED drive board to the USB port window.
Install Moon Station
Use a coin screw the Moon station into the Moon.
Charging
The USB port window designed at the side but not the bottom, so that you can screw up the Moon station a little bit and plug the USB power for charging. At the same time, you can treat it as a decent decoration on your desk.
Happy Night!
It's time to show what you have done with friends at night!
