Christmas Story Leg Lamp

thingiverse

I really enjoyed this Leg Lamp design, and I wanted to make it easier to print, so I removed the base in Tinkercad and designed new bases and lamp shades to separate out the parts for utilizing different color filaments. On my i3 clone, I printed everything at 130% scale. The leg was printed with a brim to increase build plate adhesion; print it with 0% infill to run a wire through it. I used three perimeter layers and drilled the bottom of the shoe and top of the leg for passing electrical wires. There are two lamp shades, either one suitable for printing as is; the center of each shade contains a 16mm diameter mount for one 3-led length of 5050 strip LED's. Print the lamp shades with 25% infill or adjust to fit your printer's capabilities. The base prints upside down, eliminating the need for supports altogether; print it with 25% infill or use whatever infill percentage works best for your specific printer.
