Honeycomb Lamp-Fully 3D Printed

thingiverse

This is a design I created for a Uni project, hoping you all will love it!\r\n\r\nThe bottom has an 8mm hole for a cable to pass through, the middle features a 30mm hole for a bulb fitting. I printed the entire lamp using PLA and bonded the middle part to the bottom with superglue, while the top slides on for easy bulb replacement. I recommend using a warm light that's not too bright. The top is printed at 100% infill for optimal effect or even with honeycomb infill on top!\r\n\r\nI don't have a link to the exact electronics used but can share very similar ones - the bulb was similar to this https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-led-bulb-classic-bc-470-lumens-3pk/p/0465929, and the fitting was similar to this https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F113209371546 - I used 2-core cable and a standard UK plug, and the fitting screwed on well to the middle part of my design.\r\n\r\nUPDATE: I've uploaded files for molding the bottom part if anyone wants to do so. I've uploaded one big base which I used initially, but found it hard to remove from concrete. That's why I've uploaded a version split in half with a cutout for easy assembly - I recommend printing the top half with semi-flex filament so it can flex when coming out. The side part of the mold needs to be printed twice as it's only half and bolts together with M5 bolts, then slots over the bottom part of the mold. I used epoxy to glue the middle part on to the concrete base. If anyone has any questions or if I've missed anything, feel free to ask.\r\n\r\nI've included a photo of how I attached the light and fitting as well.\r\n\r\nInstagram-msvprinting\r\nhttps://www.paypal.me/msvprinting
