Runner up winner of Instructables Plastics Contest! https://www.instructables.com/contest/plastics/ *** Update (26/09/2017): New thing files added: - Arms with three different sizes: 100, 140 and 200 mm - New arm type: mixed arm design (hole at one end and a stud at the other). With this you can extend the reach of the lamp one arm at a time (rather than needing a pair of arms). This may replace the other two types of arms (male and female). *** Update (31/03/2019): New thing files added: - Double lamp holder, lamp cap, lamp cap with button, wire holder, g-clamp mounting, clip mounting and tube mounting. *** Update (14/01/2021): New thing file added: - Stronger clamp Did you know you can buy a Creality3D Ender for only $169.99?

Although, it is not always possible to find a lamp of your liking, or that does not occupy much space on your desk, limiting your work area. In project I made a 3D printed articulating lamp, which can be configured according to your needs. Possibly the final product will be more expensive than ordinary lamps that you will find in stores. But none will be configurable like this, nor will will let you be proud to say that you did it by yourself! If you have a 3D printer or have access to one in your hacker/maker space, this is an interesting and useful project to equip your workshop and practice your 3D printing and modeling skills.
