Arch Light

<p>This is an Arch Light I designed for my desk. It provides good lighting from all angles. The light strip I used is from Amazon (link below). It's fairly large ~6ft x ~3ft.</p><p>Everything can be printed without support or rafts with good bed adhesion, however some of the taller parts may fall over once they get close to finish. If this happens I recommend a raft. I used a rock PETG, it could be printed in other materials. In hindsight this may have been cool to see with glow in the dark filament. For infill, I recommend higher for the lower parts. I filled the bases 100%. Most of the arch parts were 20%. Keep in mind, when the light is on, you can see through the parts if there is a low infill percentage. There is a cavity inside the base to insert weights so the arch will be more stable. I used 3 rolls filaments for this, but I had quite a few failed prints due to bad winding and parts falling over as mentioned above. I believe this could be accomplished with two rolls of filament. It may be possible to scale it down on your slicer to make it smaller, however you will need to consider a different light and screw size.</p><p>White LED Strip Light&nbsp;<br>https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PLZ385X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1</p><p>Adhesive Wheel Weights<br>https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0948RGRXF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1</p><p>OVERTURE Rock PETG&nbsp;<br>https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BC52P3Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1</p><p>M3 x 8mm Screws</p>
