Big Space Rocket Lamp

thingiverse

A Big Space Rocket Lamp! This new Big Space Rocket Lamp combines two components from my "Big Plant Space Rocket" (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1548574), plus a brand-new LED candleholder part. The exciting aspect is that you can use lights on two levels - inside and on top of it. On top, up to three LED tealights can shine brightly. Since the objects are identical, Big Plant Rocket & Big Rocket Lamp, they can be used for both plants as well as a lamp. Enjoy and upload some photos with your Rocket-Lamp in action! Dimensions: approximately 24 x 24 x 37 cm Printed with PLA. Total printing time was around 46 hours, using about 500g of filament. If it's only used as a lamp and not for plants, a lot of material and printing time can be saved - less layers needed since it doesn't have to be waterproof. Recommendation: Experiment with lights. Multiple lights create a beautiful diffuse glow. A single strong light source above casts an elegant ornament on the wall. Important! Don't use real burning candles! Only LED candles are safe to use. Note: You'll also find a replacement foot in the package. If a foot breaks or wasn't printed beautifully due to bad filament, it's easier to reprint. A holder for a light bulb is coming soon... Update: May 29th, 2016: A new candleholder part has been added. Want a smaller Space Rocket Lamp?
