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

Download and unpack the STL file from thingiverse:

3D print the model with white filament. I am print it with 0.1 mm layer height, no support required.

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!
