2 LED Lamps

thingiverse

I have 2 identical LED lamps, yet they appear to be distinct. Both share the same fundamental design as https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3458067 , but feature rounded edges instead of square ones. The larger lamp took a whopping 56 and a half hours to print due to its intricate internal structure, which is comprised of multiple overlapping shells that form the final geometry. These overlapping shells are a direct result of twisting a basic shape twice. A blog post explains how to accomplish this: http://birkbinnard.com/blog/do-the-twist2/ . I created the smaller lamp because I doubted anyone would be willing to devote the time required for printing the larger one. The small lamp utilizes the same fundamental geometry, but is scaled down and features only a single twist. To ensure the ribs were in proportion with its reduced size, I increased their number. This smaller lamp printed in just under 17 hours. These lamps are designed to hold any of several LED lights known as "puck" lights. These lights can be powered by either batteries or wall power.
