IKEA Jansjö hack lampshade / Tulipa para IKEA Jansjo

thingiverse

In my relentless pursuit of new geometric shapes inspired by light, I decided to adapt two existing designs on Thingiverse to create a charming tulip for the IKEA Jansjö lamp model. You can find this design in my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Sacr3dShapes3Dprint This is the first lamp that I present on my site, and I hope you will like it. The designs that I based my work on were as follows: - IKEA Jansjo / JANSJÖ Shade: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3349817 - Geometric Lamp: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2864860 First, I had to adapt the size of the lamp shade to my Jansjo, since the original design is meant to be hung from the ceiling and is too large for this small desk light. Its final dimensions are 95 cm high by 100 cm wide. For this, I used Tinkercad, the free online design tool of Autodesk. Next, I created a gcode with Cura to print it in translucent PLA on my 3D printer, a Prusa i3. Modifying the adapter was more complicated because I did not know exactly what design would work, so I conducted several tests. The definitive one is printed with flexible filament to allow its correct placement, since with rigid filament there is more probability of breaking and that the tulip does not adjust correctly. Once we have successfully printed the two parts, we will have to mount them together with the original Jansjö lamp. For this, it will be necessary to first pass the arm of the Jansjö through the tulip and leave it in place. Next, we will adjust the flexible adapter to the head of the Jansjö and, with the tulip, make the gesture of trying to remove it from the arm of the Jansjö. Since the adapter will not be possible and the two pieces will be fitted and fastened to the head of the lamp (I do not have photos of this phase but I will try to upload them so that it is better understood). If you want the lamp shade to have more than one color, you must add the M600 command sequence in the gcode, before the line of text that indicates the beginning of the layer in which you want to change the filament, every time you want! Enjoy it!
