01 – Temple DIY Kit puts a buildable bonfire in a box: 3D printed parts, a microcontroller, LEDs, wiring, and a step-by-step guide. Learn to solder, wire, and program your own electronics while you raise a small temple with one glowing purpose. Fire included.

Ships free, usually the next business day.

01 – Temple is a lamp with a living fire inside. It starts with a single spark, builds to a full blaze, and never repeats itself: the animation runs on randomness written into the code. The shape might feel familiar. Picture a meadow in rural Sweden, a festival held once every ninety years, and a yellow wooden temple with one final purpose. This kit contains everything you need to raise that temple on your own shelf. Fire included.

01 – Temple was designed as a beginner project to learn several useful skills.

LED Wiring & Soldering – The guide covers how to solder, wire LED strips together, wire to a microcontroller, and wire power to your project.

LED Programming & Microcontrollers – You will learn how to use FastLED to control LEDs, as well as how to flash a microcontroller with code. For those not interested in writing their own code, the microcontroller comes pre-flashed and ready to burn.

3D Printing – This kit includes the required 3D printed parts to build the lamp, but for those looking to learn 3D printing, the guide covers several topics from materials to slicers and print settings.

While building your own Temple lamp you will learn:

  • Cutting and tinning wire and LED strips
  • Wiring LED strips
  • Working with microcontrollers
  • Basic fabrication
  • Programming LEDs (optional)
  • 3D printing (optional)

No experience required, and no initiation rites. If you get stuck, message me and I’ll walk you through it personally.

What’s included

  • All pieces 3D printed and ready for assembly
  • Arduino Nano ESP32 microcontroller (pre-programmed)
  • LEDs
  • Wire
  • 3-Pin JST SM Connector
  • Power cable and plug
  • Step-by-step assembly guide (PDF and epub)
  • All code, heavily commented so that it’s easy to understand
  • All .STL and .3MF files, pre-supported and print-ready
  • Lifetime access to any future file updates
  • My help should you get stuck

Things not included that you will need to complete the project:

  • Adhesive
  • Wire cutters
  • Wire strippers
  • Soldering iron
  • Solder
  • Electrical tape

Already have a 3D printer and your own parts bin? The 01 – Temple DIY Guide is the files-only version of this project.

The finished Temple is 8.5”x 5” x 8”.
