Banana Lamp 1.0

prusaprinters

Other materials neededA "C7 Accessory Cord with 2 C7 Led Light Bulb Candelabra-Base E12" or something similarAn E12/BA11 bulb like “Philips LED Ultra Definition Flicker-Free Dimmable, Eye Comfort Technology, Soft White 2700K BA11 Clear Glass Light Bulb”I found that bright white toned bulbs look better than yellow daylight toned bulbs.I used PETG (with PETG print settings tuned to have no crossing of perimeters and seams are “aligned” in prusaslicer settings) in case I ever accidentally put an incandescent bulb in there and it gets a bit warm (there's not much airflow up inside, and I don't trust PLA with an incandescent bulb).Turned out amazing and we use it as a night light now.I printed this bad boy in PETG and used automatic paint-on supports before generation in Prusa Slicer.My other non-default print settings were0.3mm layer height, 3 perimeters, extra perimeters if needed, Avoid Crossing Perimeters, Rear Seam position No staggered inner seams,Retraction Length: 7mm,Lift Z: 0mm. 230C Nozzle First Layer and 95C Bed first layer, other layers printed at 235C nozzle and 90C bed. These settings (on a satin build plate) yielded excellent results with Jessie Yellow Bird PETG.From the MyMiniFactory Entry: This is a banana lamp I designed for fun. It could be a lovely night lamp for yourself or a surprise gift for your friends.I modified the structure several times, and printed 5 prototypes, in order to make the light inside looks perfect, even tried the downwards LED Bulb setup. Only a small area needs support, the 4 peels legs and the center of the body. I use 0.2mm level height and 40% infill to save time, almost 19 hours in my machine to print the body.The Bulb is LED bulb（less than 3.5W) with E12/E14 base. You can buy kinds of stuff on Amazon.
