HexaSpot Lamp v1

Why Build a Lamp When You Can Create One It's a great idea to make your own lamp, especially with the standard E27 bulb that comes with it. This LED 7.5W bulb is perfect for illuminating any space. You can use any LED bulb you like, but keep in mind that other types of bulbs will produce more heat and could damage the shade. The lamp's arms are printed with PLA without any support, but if you want a smoother finish, consider using some supports, especially for the upper and lower arms. To save on material and make the parts lighter, use 20% infill for all parts except the nuts and bolts, which should have 40% infill. Fusion360 files are included so you can modify any part of the lamp to your liking. I'd love to see what you come up with, so please share your creations. For this version, I've kept things simple with a standard LED bulb. To assemble the lamp, use a clamp to secure it to the surface. The base has a big screw on top that can be tightened or loosened for easy rotation. Be careful not to unscrew it too much, as it may come loose. For the next version, I plan to add some smart features like an LED strip (RGBWW WS2812 - Neopixel), NodeMCU (WiFi), and sensors. The base will also be redesigned to be self-standing without a clamp. There's already space for an LED strip in this version, so you can start experimenting. Remember to exercise caution when working with electrical components, as they can be hazardous. If you're unsure about how to connect or mount anything, it's best to consult an electrician or buy a pre-made lamp. This project was printed on a Prusa i3 MK3 3D printer using 0.2mm layer thickness and infill settings of 20-40%.
