Articulated GU10 Lamp

pinshape

Here is a summary: This design is based on the articulated PCB arm created by giufini, which can be found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:801279. I've modified it to accommodate 5 joints between the wood base and each lamp shade due to a GU10 socket cable length limitation of 13cm or 5 inches. This allows for sufficient adjustment of the lamp shade in any desired direction. To ensure proper functionality, DO NOT use anything other than LED bulbs when printing with PLA, as they may cause the shades to melt shortly and lead to short circuits in the socket or cable. The design was printed using copper color PLA (not filled with copper). It is recommended to glue the GU10 socket inside the shade if necessary, and secure it further with two small screws through its holes. Be cautious when handling electrical wires and ensure safety measures are taken, such as insulating cables if extensions are needed and avoiding short circuits that could lead to fires. Print Settings: Printer: RepRap Model: Prusa I3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.25mm Infill: 40% Post-Printing: Remove bridges covering the GU10 socket inside the shade. Position the key correctly before pressing the socket into place. Assembly Instructions: Position the socket properly, then start adding joints and finish with the lamp base. Secure the completed arm to a base board using three chipboard screws. Next, do the wiring and add bulbs. Finally, turn on the light and enjoy!
