Christmas Story leg lamp remix for LED lighting

I added the RemixChallenge tag even though neither of the source items are part of the challenge collection. I put in a lot of good work on this remix and the stuff in the challenge collection doesn't interest me. I did read the rules, unlike some other remixes in the challenge. I printed out the Christmas story leg lamp with the revised shade for a coworker. Another coworker saw it and loved it but wanted to convert his to have an LED light inside of it instead of just adding a tea light. I had the idea to print the leg portion with zero infill so he could run wiring up through the leg, but I discovered that the original lamp base has the foot intact - with toes - which was a complication. Also, the original base was too small for the electronics we had planned, so I worked on the base, cutting out the hidden stuff and then stitching it back together. I modeled a new base and added that to it, and was able to print it hollow. For the shade, since we didn't need access for a tea lamp, I took the revised lamp shade and cut it in half and mirrored it. After some cleanup, we have a fully intact lampshade. Print the base in whatever color you want but print the shade in a transparent filament so it glows nicely. We used a 10mm high intensity diffuse gumdrop LED for the assembled version. The battery was a CR2032 in the base and a switch was installed on the side. More detail photos will be posted later. Check out this remix by jetpuf for some nice improvements on the design, including provision for the LEDs! 18 Dec 2019 I looked at this project and happened to run across this impressive remix of jetpuf's remix which looks like it was printed out a whole lot closer to actual size! Well done, Roseks!
